Matplotlib contains a built-in pure-Python TeX rendering engine called Mathtext. Enclosing strings in raw dollar signs `r'$...$'` allows rendering complex formulas, Greek letters ($\alpha, \beta, \theta$), integrals, and fractions.
A scientific LaTeX typesetting press operating inside your plot canvas.
Always prefix LaTeX strings with `r` (raw string), e.g. `r'$\alpha + \beta^2$'`, so Python does not escape backslashes.
