Math on the Web at the Joint Mathematics Meetings

For the sixth year in a row, a consortium of software vendors has teamed up with the American Mathematical Society to present the Math on the Web Pavilion at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. This year's meeting was held in San Diego with the most varied slate of speakers ever, both from business and academia. Twelve speakers presented a total of fifteen sessions, including these from Design Science:

• Managing Math in Moodle, by Bob Mathews
• Speaking of Math: Spoken Math and Accessibility, by Neil Soiffer (presented by Bob Mathews)
• MathType ∈ Word ∩ TeX ∩ Wikipedia, by Robert Miner

It was good to see such enthusiasm among the JMM attendees for our new MathType 6 release for Windows, which includes TeX input and Wikipedia copy/paste. Read more at JMM Math on the Web Pavilion 2008.
