Thanks to a recently purchased site license, UO faculty, staff, and students now have access to MathType, a full-featured equation editor for Microsoft Word.
MathType runs on both Windows and Macintosh computers and is capable of creating mathematical notation for word processing, web pages, desktop publishing, presentations, and for TeX, LaTeX, and MathML documents. The tool’s web capabilities are especially useful, allowing you to create high-resolution mathematical equations that display beautifully on web pages across browser platforms. You can even add color to all or part of your equations, a feature that may be desirable in PowerPoint presentations.
How to obtain your copy. As long as you are a UO faculty or staff member or a currently enrolled student, you may install MathType at work and at home. Bring your UO photo ID to the Computing Center’s Documents Room Library (175 McKenzie) and check out a MathType CD. You may want to call first (346-4406) to make sure a copy is available. Our site license doesn’t include manuals, but one is available for checkout in the Documents Room, or you can purchase your own for $15.
Need help? If you have questions about how to install and use this software, contact Robin High (robinh@uoregon.edu, 346-1718).
