TutorMates Equation Editor

Math has its own writing style, with fractions, square root notations, and other symbols which are not so comfortable to create in common text editor. Luckily, a standard computer math language known as MathML (Mathematical Markup Language) got created, and you can experience it first hand with the help of TutorMates Equation Editor.

First of all, your computer needs to be fitted with Java Runtime Environment for the application to function, so go ahead and grab it if it’s not already there. On the other hand, there’s no setup involved, allowing you to carry the application wherever you go on a thumb drive, without any changes being made to registry entries.

The workspace at your disposal is no less than intuitive. Two tabs let you quickly access operators, as well as numbers and variables, which mostly comes in handy if used on touch-enabled devices. The rest of the space is the edit area, where you’re free to write down math expressions, including text.

Since it’s based on MathML, all expressions are neatly shown just as you’re taught in school to write them correctly. Moreover, the variety of operators is pretty decent, with percentage, factorial, comparison, repeating decimals, exponents, square root, as well as fraction operators besides the basic ones.

As far as numbers and variables are concerned, the dedicated tab holds all numbers from 0 to 9, a few alphabetical characters, as well as special math constants such as Pi, and Euler number. Sadly, the application doesn’t solve your equations, and is only a math editor, used solemnly for properly writing down expressions.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that TutorMates Equation Editor is a powerful math expression editor which is sure to help write expressions in proper form, thanks to MathML integration. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and can be carried around on a USB flash drive.
