Design Science MathType 6.8

MathType 6.8 is a powerful interactive tool for Windows that lets you create mathematical notation for word processing, web pages, desktop publishing, presentations, and for TeX, LaTeX, and MathML documents. It has now full 64-bit Microsoft Office support: So if you have 64-bit Office, then you need MathType 6.8 for Windows. Also available MathType 6.7 for Macintosh.

MathType 6.7 takes full advantage of Windows 7's new Math Input Panel, which provides support for handwritten math recognition. With MathType and the Math Input Panel you can easily write out your equations and insert them into over 400 applications and websites.

Windows 7 now, others later
Although the Math Input Panel feature currently requires Windows 7, we expect to have a solution for other versions of Windows soon. Please monitor our Design Science News blog or Twitter account @MathType to hear the news.

Mouse, tablet, or pen
Although you can handwrite equations using only a mouse, for best results we recommend using a tablet or a pen device.

Opens within Microsoft Word
MathType 6.7 adds a button to Microsoft Word's ribbon, and a menu command to MathType. Each brings up the Math Input Panel ready for handwriting equations.

Build large equations from small handwritten expressions
While entering math by hand is very easy for simple expressions, Math Input Panel is not practical for building larger expressions or correcting mistakes. MathType's drag-and-drop editing and ability to store up often-used expressions give you the best of both worlds.

We're listening
You can download a 30-day full version of MathType 6.7 and tryout MathType's handwritten math and the other new features for free. When you do, we would love to hear what you think.

You've finished your research and you need to present it
You're preparing a lecture using computations and calculations you worked out in various applications. Or say you created a handout for your math class using Word and you want to turn it into a PowerPoint slide. With MathType you can copy equations out of your documents and paste them directly into your presentations.

Reuse existing equations -- save time and avoid mistakes
Instead of creating equations for your slides from scratch, you can save time and avoid mistakes by re-using existing equations. With MathType you can extract equations from hundreds of applications and websites such as Mathematica, Maple, Microsoft Office, Wikipedia, and many more.

4 ways to create new equations
If you don't have existing equations you can reuse, MathType 6.7 offers four approaches to creating equations in your presentations:

• Interactive: Save time by using point-and-click templates and symbols. MathType applies mathematical spacing rules automatically as you type.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Great for those that prefer using the keyboard to create equations. Insert a new equation, or edit an existing one, using just a keystroke.
• TeX/LaTeX input: If you already know the TeX typesetting language, MathType allows you to build equations by typing TeX into MathType's editing window.
• Type TeX/LaTeX directly into Microsoft Word (Windows Only): You can enter equations directly into Word documents. Use the Toggle TeX command (Alt+\) to turn what you typed into a MathType equation. Use it again to edit the TeX language.

We asked our customers and publishers what they like about MathType. Here are their most frequent answers:

10. MathType and Equation Editor are overwhelmingly preferred by researchers and textbook authors:  According to scientific and technical publishers, over 85% of submitted manuscripts containing mathematical notation are Microsoft Word documents containing MathType or Equation Editor equations. So I know I am in good company. (Equation Editor is our junior version of MathType included in MS Office and other applications.)

9. It is easy to number equations: MathType lets me number equations in Word. It even works with all equation types in Office 2007 and Office 2010!

8. Works with hundreds of applications: Although most people use MathType with Word and PowerPoint, I can also use it with hundreds of other applications. To name just a few: Excel, InDesign, QuarkXPress, Moodle, Mathematica, Maple...

7. Creates equations for websites, blogs, wikis, and email: Since MathType can save equations in multiple formats such as GIF, TeX/LaTeX, and MathML, I can include equations in virtually any web application.

6. Lets me use equations from web pages in my own work:  More and more websites, such as Wikipedia, PlanetMath.org and PhysicsForums.com, contain equations that can be pasted directly into MathType, saving me time and minimizing mistakes.

5. Lets me define equations by typing TeX/LaTeX: Since I already know TeX/LaTeX, I can type it straight into MathType and use it in PowerPoint and Keynote presentations, or any other application that MathType works with.

4. Lets me create an equation library in its toolbar: Math tends to be repetitive. MathType can save me valuable time by letting me save frequently used symbols, templates and expressions in its toolbar, to be inserted anytime with just a click or keystroke.

3. Lets me get my students' attention with color: Color can be an important attention-getter and as a teacher I know that's half the battle!

2. Browses all the equations in a document or presentation: I just finished a twenty-page paper with hundreds of equations and I need to check my math. I use MathType's browse feature in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint to visit all the equations.

1. Makes me look smart! Because MathType lets me work faster and more efficiently, using it shows I care about my time and work.
