DragMath

DragMath is a Java-based software application that facilitates a user-friendly working environment for writing mathematical formulae and exporting documents to multiple types of files: MathML, LaTeX, Maple and Maxima.

It sports intuitive settings that shouldn't impose any difficulties to users, even those less experienced with such apps.

As long as you have Java installed on your PC, there is no additional setup required. You can drop the program files in a custom location on the hard disk and just click the JAR file to launch DragMath.

Another possibility is to save it to a USB flash disk to run it on any computer easily if it has Java installed.

An important aspect worth taking into account is that DragMath does not modify Windows registry entries or create extra files on the disk without your permission, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

The GUI is user-friendly, based on a small window with an intuitive layout that shows buttons for various mathematical symbols and functions. You can insert them into the project with the click of a button and drag them around with the mouse cursor to re-arrange them.

Undoing actions is possible. What's more, you can cut, copy and paste selections, as well as save projects to file by specifying a file name, directory and preferred format. Expressions may be converted to most user-defined styles by creating an XML file which contains the correct syntax data.

We have not come across any issues in our tests, since DragMath did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. It had a good response time and worked well in our tests, without triggering Windows to hang, crash or pop up error messages.

The fact of the matter is that DragMath offers a simple and effective solution to creating mathematical expressions and saving them to popular file types, and it can be handled by all types of users, whether they have previous experience with this kind of software or not.
