Reviews

Here are some nice things that have been written about our company and products:

MathFlow received Desktop Engineering's Readers' Choice Award!  "MathFlow Editor ... gives users of Blast Radius's XMetaL 4.5 Author and XMAX (XMetaL for ActiveX) the ability to compose and edit mathematical expressions in MathML"  -- Desktop Engineering, January 2005

Design Science will lead a project aimed at enhancing search technology for finding mathematical formulas and notations in scientific literature... Although math searching is currently hampered by the lack of a standard, machine-accessible format for equations, Design Science hopes to change that using MathML..." -- Desktop Engineering, January 2004
	"The lack of high-quality support for mathematics in web browsers has been a long-standing sore spot for scientific publishers and researchers," said Mark Walter, Senior Editor, The Seybold Report. "With MathPlayer, Design Science is providing welcome relief to a user community that's struggled for years with this issue."
"Das Program ist durchaus in der Lage, Elektronik-Entwicklern und Messtechnikern das Leben zu erleichtern." -- Design&Elektronik, (Germany), May 2002

"This is a must-buy upgrade for MathType users who create Web pages with mathematical content...If you regularly use Equation Editor, upgrading to MathType will help speed up your work and give you access to a wider range of symbols and expressions" -- KLIATT, January 2002
"Perhaps the most interesting new features of MathType 5 relate to publishing math documents on the Web. Word equipped with MathType can export documents to what's called MathPage using Word's "Save as Web Page" command. This creates an HTML file with equations included as linked images (GIFs)...The math is also nicely formatted and prints crisply, both marked improvements on the standard Word export...With MathType 5, Word can export math documents as HTML, embodying the math content in MathML instead of in linked image files. An extension of HTML for formatting math expressions, MathML is a long-awaited development of great relevance to technical societies, such as the IEEE, which publish millions of pages of math-laden material every year on the Internet. Any boost in the efficiency of the process, one of the promises of MathML, can yield great economic benefits." -- IEEE Spectrum, December 2001
	"Die Profiversion MathType 5.0, die eigene Schriftfonts und damit Hunderte von zusätzlichen Symbolen enthält, bringt die Mathematik ins Internet-Zeitalter. Dabei arbeitet das Programm eng mit Word zusammen. Die 4er Version erweiterte den Export für die bei Ingenieuren und Naturwissenschaftlern beliebte TeX- und LaTeXTextverarbeitung. Nun kann Word mit Hilfe von MathType komplizierte Formeln sowohl als HTML-Datei (Gleichung als GIF-Bild) als auch MathML-2.0-Datei speichern." -- PC Magazine (Germany), October 2001
"Etter å ha brukt programmet jevnlig fra februar, er jeg svært godt fornøyd med det. Denne fulle versjonen er en klar forbedring i forhold til standard likningseditor i WordPerfect og Word." -- SkoleMagasinet (Norway), issue 6-2000 (November 2000)
"Für die ausgezeichnete Leistung und dem ausführlichen über 100 Seiten starkem Handbuch erhält das Produkt unsere Empfehlung der Redaktion" -- EDITOR'S CHOICE, Softwarenachrichten online (Germany), Juli 2000
"It [MathType] is very easy to use, contains features that allow one to customize it to their specific needs, and it is very versatile. ...Its reasonable price make MathType very appealing." -- Journal of Applied Mathematics and Stochastic Analysis, Volume 12, Number 4, Winter 1999
"If you use Equation Editor a lot this is a 'must have' upgrade. The performance enhancement is in the Ford Mondeo to Mercedes S Class bracket." -- Scientific Data Management, November 1999
"MathType è uno strumento semplice e flessibile per la scrittura di testi scientifici, in cui oltre al contenuto è importante salvaguardare anche i dettagli estetici del documento. Rappresenta un valido compromesso tra gli strumenti più complessi di editoria scientifica tipo LateX ed il vituperato Equation Editor di MS-Office." -- DEV. Online, (Italy) Ottobre 99
"For someone whose needs do not require TeX, MathType is a wonderful choice. Even for TeX users, it is a useful adjunct to their regular TeX program." -- Desktop Engineering Magazine, September 1999
"MathType risulta quasi indispensabile per esempio nella stesura di una tesi, in un rapporto tecnico...MathType 4 è un ottimo editor di equazioni, a mio modo di vedere, nonostante non ci sia una concorrenza spietata, IL MIGLIOR equation editor. Chiunque lo aquisterà non ne rimarrà deluso; sono tantissime le sue potenzialità ed alta è la sua compatibilità e interfacciabilità con i maggiori pacchetti software "alla Office". Interessante il supporto tecnico ON-line e il traduttore LaTeX, chiaro e dettagliato il manuale, soltanto però in lingua inglese." -- Software.net, (Italy) September 1999
"The upgrade to MathType 4.0 from earlier versions is substantial...There is no doubt that this new version has many new features which will be of great benefit and it is offered at a price that is very reasonable. What more could a user ask for!" -- Maths & Stats Newsletter, Volume 10, Number 3, August 1999
	"MathType 4 is an exceptional tool for writing mathematical equations, and if you have realized the limitations of the Equation Editor (EE) that comes with your word processor you should definitely try MathType 4." --  www.PhysLINK.com, July 1999
	CHIP PRODUCT des Monats August 1999 "MathType 4 stellt auch die kompliziertesten mathematischen und physikalischen Formeln einwandfrei dar." -- Chip (Germany), August 8/99
"MathType 4.0 macht Microsoft Word zu einem komfortablen TeX/LaTeX-Editor. Unter Naturwissenschaftlern und Ingenieuren ist die Skript-orientierte Textverarbeitung TeX sehr beliebt: Mit ihr lassen sich alle mathematischen Formeln darstekken, einschließlich korrekter Symbolschreibweisen und Formelnumerierung." -- PC Magazine (Germany), August 1999
"Any equation can be laid out in many different ways, so mathematical typesetting is often a daunting task. Now, thanks to the arrival of software such as MathType, scientists can avoid the meticulous - not to mention cryptic - approach that is taken by typesetting languages such as TeX. Design Science has created a flexible and inexpensive piece of software. Costing $129, MathType is worth purchasing for the built-in intelligence that it has on offer for the scientific writer." -- Scientific Computing World, June / July 1999.
"We at Platonic Realms are very impressed with the new features, especially the outstanding translators for TeX and MathML, and the full support given to preparing display equations for HTML. (As you might imagine, this is a feature of special interest to us!) No matter what document preparation software you use, From MS Word to AMS Latex, MathType has just made your life a whole lot easier." -- Platonic Realms, May 27,1999
"Let me say that MathType is a very professional tool for professional people..." -- Woody's Windows Watch - Vol 2 No 10, May 23, 1999
"MathType, però, permette il salvataggio anche in MathML, la più recente tecnologia per pubblicare lavori scientifici sotto il Web." -- PC WEEK Italia (Italy), 17/5/99
"With the Web Consortium standard in place, MathML may succeed where TeX and LaTeX have not and become a universally accepted format for Web (or even paper) publication of math documents. Anticipating this trend, Design Science Inc., of Long Beach, Calif., developer of MathType, has announced that MathML capabilities will be included in the next release of its program." -- IEEE SPECTRUM, April 1999 (MathType 4 for Windows is now shipping -- it converts mathematical notation to MathML.)
"MathType is a worthy and convenient method to formulate equations..." -- Science, March 19,1999
"The developer of the Equation Editor that is built-into Microsoft Word -- Design Science Inc. of Long Beach, Calif. -- also offers technical professionals its more powerful MathType, which makes it easier for them to write formulas and equations in standard math notation." -- IEEE SPECTRUM, January 1999
"Design Science has long had a dominant position in the PC equation add-on market with its MathType product. This was solidified with its bundling arrangement with Microsoft Office, which includes a kind of junior version (Microsoft Equation Editor) of MathType." -- Desktop Engineering Magazine, January 1997
"MathType made me feel like a rocket scientist." -- " You might get by with the meager extension called Equation Editor that is part of some software (MS Word and others), or go right to the source that created Equation Editor and get MathType" -- Wired Magazine, June 1995
