Re: [apple scitech] Equation editor recommendations



Paul -

One feature of MathType is that it can produce its output in any common variety of TeX you desire (5 variants of TeX, and 4 variants of MathML). I am not fluent in TeX, so I find it convenient to construct the equation in MathType, then paste the TeX output into a TeX document. When I am using Word 2008 (or earlier), I just paste into the document using the usual MathType (PICT) format. Now that iWorks 09 has adopted MathType as its standard, MathType has a lot going for it.

Scientists and science groupies,

I write scientific papers on a Mac using InDesign mainly. I'm interested in getting a new equation editor that is OS X compatible because of the imminent installation of a new Intel Mac running Leopard that will not support my Expressionist 2.04 that runs under classic.

One program I've found has a plug-in for InDesign. It is expensive:

MathMagic

Another can combine an equation editor and algebraic calculator:

LiveMathâ„¢ Maker and
MathEQâ„¢ Expression Editor

A third is MathType:

I would appreciate any recommendations and/or comments and additional suggestions.

A further question: if I had Mathmatica, Maple, or Matlab, can one copy and paste equations written in those calculating programs into text processors such as Word or InDesign?

Thank you!

Paul Norton
