Design Science MathType™ for Windows and Macintosh is a powerful interactive tool that will revolutionize the way you create print and web-based documents that contain math. MathType works with any word processor, presentation program, page layout program, HTML-authoring tool, plus other types of software, to create equations for research papers, class materials, web pages, slide presentations, journal articles and books.

MathType is the Professional Version of Equation Editor
If you are familiar with our Equation Editor included in Microsoft Office, AppleWorks and other products, then you will really appreciate MathType's extra features. It will let you create a wider range of equations for a wider range of documents, and help you work much more efficiently. We've added an enormous amount of functionality that effectively transforms Microsoft Word into a state-of-the-art math word processor and web page editor.

MathType includes our new MathPage™ technology that enables you to transform an entire Word document into a web page with equations that print and display beautifully in any modern Windows, Macintosh, Unix or Linux browser -- no existing product or technology yields better results or is easier to use.
