ANN: Design Science MathPlayer 1.0 Released
Bob Mathews
After a few months in public beta, Design Science announces the
release of MathPlayer 1.0, which enables mathematicians,
educators, and scientists to present web content with
high-quality display and interaction of mathematics in
Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Windows web browser.
Together with the Mozilla/Netscape browsers and their built-in
MathML support, and the Universal MathML Style Sheet now
available at the W3C Math site (http://www.w3.org/Math), the
availability of MathPlayer makes MathML a viable and useful
vehicle for putting math on the web. MathML (Mathematical Markup
Language) is a recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) for representing mathematics. MathML can be combined with
HTML to enable display of math in web pages. For more information
on MathML, see http://www.w3.org/Math.
Design Science is making MathPlayer available for free download
(in exchange for an email address only) in order to help ensure
the success of MathML in the marketplace. We also offer products
that aid in the creation of MathML content:
MathType -- the professional version of the Equation Editor that
comes with Microsoft Office includes our MathPage technology for
converting a Word document containing math to a web page with
MathML.
WebEQ -- our collection of software tools for adding dynamic math
to web pages, including our WebEQ Editor for authoring MathML and
WebEQ Input Control for enabling math input in web pages.
