Equation Editor Licensing Information

Mathematics is an international language and a global marketing opportunity. Millions of people use math every day - university professors, school teachers, scientists, engineers, students, publishers, mathematicians, secretaries, etc., most of whom need to present mathematical notation in their daily work.

If you are marketing software to technical, scientific and educational computer users, adding Equation Editor to your product will provide a more complete solution for creating textbook-quality documents, Web pages, graphs, etc. You're spending valuable marketing funds to attract people in technical, scientific and educational fields; now you can offer them a tangible, easy-to-implement, feature that will help keep them loyal to your product.

If you are marketing a software product to a wide range of computer users, adding Equation Editor will make your application stand above the crowd. It's a feature that will make your application more important to the millions of scientific, engineering and educational users that work with mathematics everyday. When scientists, engineers, mathematicians, professors, teachers and students need a general-purpose software product, Equation Editor may be the feature that makes them decide to purchase your software instead of another.

Background

In 1991, we developed Equation Editor for use as a value-addition to other software applications. Equation Editor now ships with Microsoft Office and many other scientific, engineering and educational applications.

What products are a natural fit for Equation Editor?

Essentially any application used by university professors, school teachers, students, engineers, secretaries, publishers, scientists and mathematicians to produce presentation-quality work, could benefit by shipping with Equation Editor.

• Graphing, charting, and modeling applications have many users who need to label an axis or curve with mathematical notation.
• Test making software for educators, scientific software, statistical packages, data analysis, presentation and visualization, experimental data fitting, all need Equation Editor.
• Equations frequently complete the picture in multimedia and slide presentations.
• Equation editing is essential for word processing, page layout and technical documents.

Equation Editor is easy to integrate

Equation Editor supports both OLE 1 and OLE 2 (Object Linking and Embedding), EGO (Edit Graphic Object), and works with any application that allows the user to paste graphics using the Windows or Macintosh clipboard.

• If your application supports OLE, the user simply selects the Insert Object command to create a new equation. To later edit the equation, the user simply double-clicks on the equation to open the equation window.
• If your application supports EGO, your users need only double-click on the equation to edit an equation.
• In the event your application does not support OLE or EGO, the user can utilize cut and paste commands to create and edit typeset-quality equations from within your application.

What will it cost to add Equation Editor to your next release?

Equation Editor is not free, but it is much less than you might think. Our business model is to get Equation Editor in the hands of as many people as possible by licensing to other software developers at a very reasonable price. Equation Editor includes a built-in dialog that prompts the end-user occasionally to find out about MathType, the professional version of Equation Editor. This model helps us keep licensing fees low.
