Math Notation on the Web: Getting Started with MathML
MathML (Mathematical Markup Language) is an XML-based standard from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for describing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and content. It provides a much-needed foundation for representing mathematical expressions on web pages. For equations, MathML offers several advantages over traditional file formats, such as GIF or JPEG images, or PDF – including fast loading speed, interactivity, accessibility, and archiving and searching capabilities.
To better support MathML, IS&T has assembled a web site with details on browser support, font installers, and tools for building web pages with MathML. IS&T is also offering a MathML Quick Start class in March and April.
If you have questions or want more information about MathML, contact the Academic Computing Support Team at f_l@mit.edu or 253-0115.
