Mathtype is a must for edtech companies to design quality teaching content.

Easy to make textbook solutions requiring mathematical equations for physics, chemistry and maths.

PROS

Complex mathematical equations can be easily inserted in the solution. This app integrates with Ms Word which helps in making instant mathtype equations directly in the word file. All the symbols are present in the tool.

CONS

This tool cannot be used without training. The interface is difficult to handle in the beginning. The tool has different prices based on the requirement.

La herramienta profesional más efectiva para creación de formulas.

En los últimas años mi expriencia ha sido completament epositiva, ya que hete nido la oportunidad de diseñar libros escolares de matemáticas y física con formulas muy complejas pero a partir de la última versión es prácticamente imposible el trabjar de forma profesioanal con software de diseño, ya que ahora solo puedeo usarlo para Office 365 y ya no exsite compatibilidad ocn los nuevos sistemas a partir de Mac OS Catalina en adelante, y el soporte técnico prácticamente no da ninguna solución

PROS

La facilidad de uso y la compatibilidad con mis programas de diseño y publiación como Microsoft Word e Indesign.

CONS

Para usuarios Mac que tienen una version susperior de sisteam operativo Mojave, es te programa a sufrido cambios que impiden el usarlo de forma profesional, ahora se limita a la creación de formulas en Office 365.

Reason for choosing MathType

Porque cuando lo adquirí tenia completa compatibilidad con mis programas de layout para diseñar libros de texto. Además de lo fácil y las múltiples opciones de formatos de exportación

Reasons for switching to MathType

Porque ese programa no tenia plug ins ni ninguna forma de exportar en un formato profesional para impresión offest

Mathtype Best tool for K1-12 teacher

previously we had problems with integration between MathType with learning management systems such as google classroom. Still, since the new version release, we can integrate with the google classroom well, especially during the covid situation student can not come to class, teachers can not meet each other, but the teacher can still work with another teacher online using MathType.

PROS

is stable and well-integrated with other platforms such as moodle and google classroom and collaboration works for the new version lets teachers work with each other on the same page. the best feature I like is handwriting we can write the formula in handwriting and it converts to the MathType formula.

CONS

it's excellent already, for the new version, but if you are using the old version please move to the new version on the cloud to get rich features.
