Design Science has been playing a leadership role in the development of the MathML standard since its inception. We are actively developing MathML-capable products and solutions for all phases of the publishing process.

Design Science MathFlow™ consists of MathFlow for Arbortext, MathFlow for XMetaL, and the MathFlow SDK.

MathFlow for Arbortext

Design Science has partnered with PTC to create 3 products that install into Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine. Each product may be purchased separately, and used as fixed or concurrent (floating) licenses.

• MathFlow Editor: a full-featured WYSIWYG MathML equation editor that installs into Arbortext Editor for authoring and editing MathML equations.
• MathFlow Composer: works with Arbortext Editor or Publishing Engine for PDF and web output.
• MathFlow Exchange: imports Microsoft Word documents with equations (MathType and Microsoft Equation Editor equations), and converts them into XML+MathML documents.

If you have Arbortext installed and want to evaluate MathFlow for Arbortext, please contact us.

MathFlow for XMetaL

Design Science has partnered with JustSystems to create the MathFlow Editor that installs into XMetaL Author or XMAX, and can be used as fixed or concurrent (floating) licenses.

If you have XMetaL installed and want to evaluate the MathFlow Editor, please contact us.

MathFlow SDK

The MathFlow SDK (beta) consists of 3 different equation editors, 2 different composition components, and API documentation, for building math functionality into publishing workflows other than Arbortext and XMetaL. Equation editing and/or composition can also be made to work with a variety of applications, such as wikis, web-based distributed authoring, eLearning, assessment, OEM product integration and distribution, etc.

If you want to evaluate the MathFlow SDK (beta), please contact us.

We are interested in hearing about your technology needs; if there are products or functionality you would like to see us develop sooner rather than later, or just need some advice, please contact us.

White papers

Design Science, having worked with enterprise publishing professionals since 1987, has gained valuable insight into the challenges and solutions of integrating math in publishing workflows. Below are featured white papers we have authored to share with our customers.

• MathML is XML: Maximize Your Investment: Forward-thinking enterprises are working with MathML for encoding mathematical notation. MathML is the W3C standard for representing math in XML, and is supported by many related software systems, including web browsers, XML editors, computer algebra systems, search engines, screen readers, and rendering and composition engines. This paper describes the benefits of MathML for your enterprise.
• MathML Workflows in STM Publishing: Most publishers are moving to XML-based production workflows. Since mathematical notation is one of the defining features of STM (Science/Technical/Medical) content, and because MathML is the XML standard for representing mathematics, MathML plays an important role in STM workflows.
