PROFILE

Samarth Manoj Naik

In November 2025, Sam Naik developed display math mode support for LaTeX rendering in the Submitty repository, enhancing the readability of complex equations in course materials and student submissions. Using Vue.js, JavaScript, and CSS, Sam extended the KaTeX rendering layer to recognize and properly center $...$ and \[...\] expressions on their own lines, while preserving existing inline math functionality. The implementation included updates to automated tests and documentation to reflect the new syntax. This work addressed a high-visibility feature request, improving clarity for students and instructors without introducing breaking changes, and demonstrated careful attention to integration and maintainability.

November 2025: Delivered display math mode support for LaTeX in Submitty, enabling properly rendered, centered display equations on their own lines using $...$ and \[...\], significantly improving readability of complex formulas in course materials and student submissions. This feature preserves existing inline math rendering and adds standard LaTeX typesetting experience. The change closes issue #11989 and relates to #11931, implemented in commit 58b54dfee52169294e61e5eb739ecc62386ac5a7. Automated tests were updated to cover display mode rendering and documentation updated to reflect the new syntax in Markdown. Business impact: clearer mathematical content reduces student confusion and speeds up grading for instructors. Technical impact: KaTeX rendering layer extended with display mode support, with no breaking changes; high-visibility collaboration effort with co-authors on the PR.
