Single session event
Prereq: none

MathML (the Mathematical Markup Language) has the potential to revolutionize the way digital scientific content is used and reused in many scientific and engineering disciplines. It makes possible the exchange of scientific content in applications as diverse as web publishing, computer algebra systems, print typesetting, and speech synthesis. Yet, in spite of all these advantages, MathML has been used very little in the scientific community at MIT and elsewhere. This presentation will review various initiatives and perspectives on this technology at MIT and discuss possible next steps that would help increase adoption.
