$ $ is inline, \begin{displaymath} is display math. There is another, 
shorter, form of it too, but I can't remember either of where it is, or 
where my LaTeX reference is (that said, I don't think I've seen the 
latter for the better part of a year)

It would be very minimal. MD5 gives you 128 bits of uniqueness, which is
a reasonable number. If you wanted to be extra careful (can't hurt),
then make the name be GroupName-PageName-MD5.png (however, if you have
one equation show up a lot in a group, you may want to shorten it to
GroupName-MD5.png to save on space)
