The Integration of Math Typesetting and Computer Algebra
Product Description
With Scientific WorkPlace, you can create, edit, and
typeset mathematical and scientific text more easily than ever before.
The software is based on an easy-to-use word processor that completely
integrates writing mathematics and text in the same environment. With
the built-in computer algebra systems, you can perform computations
right on the screen.
Principal Characteristics
The Gold Standard for Mathematical, Scientific, and Technical Publishing
In Scientific WorkPlace, you can typeset complex
technical documents with LaTeX, the industry standard for mathematics
typesetting. Because of its superior precision and quality, publishers
and writers of scientific material use LaTeX extensively. When you
typeset, LaTeX automatically generates footnotes, indexes,
bibliographies, tables of contents, and cross-references.
You don't have to learn LaTeX to produce typeset
documents. Many of the more than 150 document shells have been designed
to meet the typesetting requirements of specific professional journals
and institutions. Scientific WorkPlace automatically saves your
documents as LaTeX files. You can concentrate on writing a correct
paper; Scientific WorkPlace makes it a beautiful one.
The Power of The MuPAD™3.1.1 Easy-to-Use Computer Algebra Systems
Scientific WorkPlace combines the ease of entering
and editing mathematics in natural mathematical notation with the
ability to compute with a built-in computer algebra
systems-MuPAD™3.1.1. In this integrated working environment, you can
enter mathematics and perform computations without having to think or
work in a programming language.
The MuPAD™3.1.1 computer algebra systems use natural
mathematical notation, so you don't have to master complex syntax to be
able to evaluate, simplify, solve, or plot mathematical expressions.
Full computer algebra capabilities are available.
You can compute symbolically or numerically, integrate, differentiate,
and solve algebraic and differential equations. With menu commands, you
can create 2-D and 3-D plots in many styles and coordinate systems;
import data from graphing calculators; and compute with over 150 units
of physical measure.
In addition, you can use the Exam Builder provided
with Scientific WorkPlace to construct exams algorithmically and to
generate, grade, and record quizzes on a web server.
Increased Productivity
This software thinks like you do. Whether you prefer
to use the mouse or the keyboard, entering mathematics is so
straightforward there is practically no learning curve. Formatting is
fast, simple, and consistent. In Scientific WorkPlace, you use tags to
define the document structure and format it consistently.
Users have reported significant productivity
increases when support staff use Scientific WorkPlace instead of raw
LaTeX to typeset documents. Both technical and non-technical users can
quickly learn to enter and number equations, create tables and
matrices, and import and create graphics, all with pleasing on-screen
mathematics and italics created with TrueType outline fonts.
Scientific WorkPlace has the tools that simplify
writing and editing books and other large documents. It is perfect for
writers in academic, industrial, and government institutions and in all
scientific and technical fields: mathematics, physics, engineering,
economics, chemistry, computer science, statistics, medical research,
and logic.
The software comes with an extensive online help
system and a series of reference manuals. If you need additional help,
MacKichan Software provides reliable, prompt, free technical support.
International, Interoperable, Indispensable
Scientific WorkPlace simplifies working with
colleagues in other locations. You can import text (.txt) and Rich Text
Format (.rtf) files, and you can copy content to the clipboard for
export as text or graphics to other applications. You can create .dvi
or .htm files from your documents, or generate portable LaTeX output
for seamless transfer to different LaTeX installations. The Document
Manager simplifies file transfer by email or on diskette.
Spelling, font, and hyphenation support for
languages other than English is available. You can switch languages in
the same document using Babel, the multilingual LaTeX system. The
software supports input using any left-to-right language supported by a
version of Windows, including Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. It uses
the in-place IME (Input Method Editor) for these languages. (The
ability to typeset a language may depend on the availability of TeX for
that language. Non-Latin character sets are typeset with Lambda, which
is included.) Fully localized Japenese and German versions of
Scientific WorkPlace are available now through Mackichan’s local
distributors.
Scientific WorkPlace has a built-in link to the
World Wide Web. If you have Internet access, you can open the file at
any URL address from inside the program. Also, you can deliver content
via the Web. The software supports hypertext links, so you can
facilitate navigation for your readers through a series of related
documents. Readers can view and print documents using Scientific
Viewer, which is distributed at no cost.
