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 Apple iWork '09, 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.
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.
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.
