MathType for Macintosh is a powerful
interactive equation editor that lets you create mathematical notation for word
processing, web pages, desktop publishing, presentations, and for TeX,
LaTeX, and MathML documents.
Features & Benefits
Here are just a few of MathType's many features:
More Symbols, Templates, and Fonts
More Fonts:
MathType has hundreds more symbols and
templates than Equation Editor. Beside our
exclusive
Euclid™ math fonts,
you can also make use of the 1000s of math symbols in fonts already on
your computer, as well as math fonts
you can download from the Internet.
Find Symbols: MathType's Insert Symbol dialog allows you to explore the available symbols and
insert them with a click or keystroke.
Works with Many Applications
Many
Applications: In addition to Microsoft Word
and PowerPoint,
use
MathType to add equations to QuarkXPress
and
Adobe InDesign layouts, Excel
spreadsheets, HTML pages, and many more
applications and document types.
Works with
Wikipedia:
Wikipedia, the popular online
encyclopedia, contains 1000s of pages with mathematical equations. Once
you do your research on Wikipedia, you can
copy the relevant equations for use in your
own work. You can also use MathType to
author new equations for Wikipedia.
Many Ways to
Work: MathType can add equations to virtually
any application that has an Insert Object command or
into which you can paste or drag a
graphic.
Use Wikipedia as a source of equations for your
work:
Two Ways to Create
Equations
Point-and-Click
Editing with Automatic Formatting:
Equations can be created quickly by choosing
templates from MathType's palettes and
typing into their empty slots. MathType
applies mathematical spacing rules
automatically as you type.
Type TeX or
LaTeX: If you already know the
TeX typesetting language, you can enter
equations quickly using MathType's TeX input
mode. TeX editing can be mixed with
point-and-click editing so you get the best
of both worlds.
You can also paste in equations from
existing TeX documents.
Typing TeX can be combined with MathType's
traditional point-and-click editing:
Saves Time
Save Expressions
in the Toolbar: Drag frequently used equations and expressions
to the MathType toolbar so they can be inserted later with just a click or a keystroke.
Keyboard
Shortcuts: MathType has customizable
keyboard shortcuts for virtually every
symbol, template, and command.
Intel Mac and Leopard (OS X 10.5) Support: MathType is a Universal application supporting both Intel and PowerPC Macs with fast native code. MathType works with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, including 10.5 (Leopard).
Easier to Use
Toolbar and Menu
in Microsoft Word: MathType adds a
toolbar and menu to Microsoft Word, allowing
quick access to its features and powerful
commands to do equation numbering, produce
great-looking math web pages, and much more.
(These features
are available in Word X and 2004, not
Word 2008. Please see our
Full Feature List for details.)
Better Results
Color: Coloring an
equation can make it stand out.
Use color to highlight part of an equation
and focus
your students' attention on it. Show
what changed in each step of a
multi-step procedure.
