Math on the Web

Web authors still resort to methods involving images (or screen captures of equations taken from other packages) to create technical documents with mathematical or scientific content.

For example, this image . . .

. . . is coded as follows . . .
<img alt="[-b+-Sqrt[b^2-4ac]]/2a" src="images/quad.gif">



Xmath goal is: Offer electronic facility/tools to
  • Teach and compute Math on the Web using MathML.

  • carry out threaded online conversations using MathML between groups of distant physicists, mathematicians, engineers and students.
