Render Latex in IPython notebook and display on output line

So let's say I generate a Latex expression like so

def polar_gradient(f):
    return (derivative(f, x), derivative(f, r), derivative(f,theta)) 

x, r, theta = var('x', 'r', 'theta')
f = r * sin(theta)
grad = polar_gradient(f)
expr=latex(grad)

Is there a way I can render expr and display it on the output line in an Ipython notebook?

I just wanted to add an alternative to @eric_g's answer which also worked for me.

If you're using Sage with VSCode, there is a way to toggle the output between text/plain, text/html, and text/latex:

In the Ipython notebook (now called Jupyter notebook), simply type

%display latex
grad

Note the % in front of display. After this command, all outputs will be displayed using LaTeX (MathJax rendering) (there is no need to type %display latex in subsequent cells). Note also that you don't need to write expr=latex(grad).

Seems like %display was deprecated? UsageError: Line magic function%displaynot found.
