Probably a brand of tex called LaTex, see
ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/short-math-guide.pdf
for example although it does not have all of the possibilities

Edit to add: Also, if you highlight and right click a tex statement, you will probably get a menu which has a 'show math as' choice under which will be the tex code.

As an example \(\displaystyle \theta\) would look like

\theta

and the actual code would have a

 [tex] [/tex] surrounding the code, i.e.
[tex]\theta[/tex]
