The app is easy to use, supports Windows 7's TabletPC extensions and touch enabled hardware. Existing expressions can be saved to the MathType toolbar for repeated use later.Īpp Pro’s: Supports TabletPC and touch features, supports TeX or LaTeX, Supports every version of Office from Office XP forwardĪpp Con’s: limited scope and use, pricey for such a scope-limited applicationĬonclusion: If you need to compose complex mathematical expressions for your Office documents, there's no better tool than MathType.
You can even paste in equations from existing TeX documents.
TeX editing can also be mixed with point-and-click editing. If you already know the TeX typesetting language, you can enter equations directly into MathType or Microsoft Word documents. If you don't have a TabletPC or Windows PC with a touch screen, the app also supports customizable keyboard shortcuts. MathType applies mathematical spacing rules automatically as you type. With Automatic Formatting, you can create equations quickly by choosing templates from MathType's palettes and plugging and chugging data into its empty slots. You can also use its point and click editing features. The app makes use of Windows 7's built-in handwriting recognition, though you'll need a PC with a touch screen in order to use this feature. MathType allows you to enter mathematical equations as easily as you would write math with paper and pencil. It constructs mathematical expressions on your Windows PC. It was just easier, and a lot more affordable than any programmatic alternative. I had access to word processors and such, but they were DOS based, and at the time, most people hand crafted complex mathematical expressions in their documents.
Windows didn't really become Windows until well after I graduated from college. Back when I was in college, Windows wasn't around. One of the biggest problems I remember having way back in the day was writing papers for either my math or physics classes. Construct complex mathematical equations for your documents with this easy to use Windows tool.
