Hi Markus,

it's not exactly a subset of LaTeX. Some commands were added some were removed. 
A large portion of those parts are documented here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula , and a complete list 
is available from  http://1drv.ms/1RtoZoW 
For LaTeX users I created a LaTeX macro package so that they can copy and paste 
texvc style LaTeX code to regular LaTeX documents
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/texvc
However, there are two issues with this package: \and  and \or are not 
supported by my LaTeX package since redefining those commands caused internal 
problems. However, most of the time people use the standard LaTeX command \lor 
and \land anyhow. Altogether, enwiki contains 969 \lor and 1581 \land.
Statistics on the usage frequencies are available from 
https://gitlab.tubit.tu-berlin.de/data/wikiFormulae/tree/master

w.r.t 2) I have no idea how that relates to MathJax? Can you explain the 
background of your question?

Best
Moritz

For a consumer, the main practical questions would be:

(1) What subset of LaTeX exactly do you need to support to display the math 
expressions in Wikidata?
(2) As a follow up: does MathJAX work to display this? If not, what does?

Cheers,

Markus
