MathType 6

The first post on my website i.e. blog was about LaTeX (i didn’t translate it yet), which is one of the ways to type mathematical formulae in the computer. In that post, I mentioned easier, much simpler variant of typing formulas – and that’s with Microsoft Office package which is on many computers today, based on the Microsoft Windows operating system. In this post, I’ll briefly overview it and describe what you need to install/configure and how you can speed up your formula typing. In my tutorial, I will use software for which you must pay – MathType 6. In the Office package itself there is add-on Equation Editor by which you can also type mathematical formulae, but if you write a lot of formulae/equations, with MathType software, you won’t go wrong because it has the possibility to put shortcuts into the toolbars, via mouse or keyboard and many options available, that are adjusted for many mathematical formula “types“. Also, I used Office version 2003 (old but stable).
Buy MathType 6 and install it. (more…)
