Okay, LaTex.  It's a pretty big can of worms, and Mnemosyne doesn't
have much to do with it.

In short, you probably want to add the line:
\usepackage{amsmath}
to the preamble file: (your application
directory)\Mnemosyne\.mnemosyne\latex\preamble

If you're familiar with Latex, here is some more information:
Mnemosyne uses the LaTex environment installed on your system (probably MiKTex)
It simply runs dvipng which renders your LaTex code as a graphic then
displays that image
It wraps your latex code in the postamble and preamble in the the
files in the directory mentioned above
It also uses the options for dvipng in the same directory in the dvipng file
You can delete everything in that directory, except those three files,
to make Mnemosyne regenerate all of the graphics after you make
changes.

Finally, and this caused me much frustration, Mnemosyne centers the
images by default.  You can turn this off in (your install
directory)\Mnemosyne\.mnemosyne\config.py by setting left_align =
True.

There are extensive resources online for working with LaTex, but the
amsmath environment will provide almost everything you need for
rendering mathematical formulas.
