This is a community-wiki post that everyone can edit.
Its purpose is to compile a list of RPG.se answers that would significantly benefit from LaTeX markup, as part of the use-case argument for enabling MathJax here.
Shog9 said in response to the Code Review request to enable MathJax:
Unless there's a large population of posts that could benefit extensively from it, there's no need to impose the cost on the rest of the posts. A few subscripts don't really necessitate this.
They then compiled a list of answers that would benefit significantly from MathJax support, and the request was eventually implemented.
We need to do our own due diligence and legwork!
