Yes, you can have badges for successful Math posts without having to modify the plugin.

First you will need to enable [Badge SQL can no longer be edited by default](https://meta.discourse.org/t/badge-sql-can-no-longer-be-edited-by-default/47894) on your site.

After that create a new badge that triggers on the following query:

```sql
SELECT user_id, MIN(id) AS post_id, current_timestamp AS granted_at 
FROM badge_posts
WHERE cooked LIKE '%<span class="math">%' AND (:backfill OR id IN (:post_ids) )
GROUP BY user_id

```
