    • Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha
    • Evernote
  • Many Ways to Work: MathType can add equations to virtually any application or website into which you can paste or drag a graphic in PDF, EPS, or GIF format or in LaTeX or MathML math languages.

More Symbols, Templates, and Fonts

  • More symbols and templates:MathType has hundreds more symbols and templates than Equation Editor. Besides our exclusive Euclid™ math fonts, you can also make use of the 1000's of math symbols in fonts already on your computer, as well as math fonts you can download from the Internet.
  • More Fonts: MathType has hundreds more symbols and templates than Equation Editor. Besides our exclusive Euclid™ math fonts, you can also make use of the 1000s of math symbols in fonts already on your computer, as well as math fonts you can download from the Internet.
  • Find Symbols: MathType's Insert Symbol dialog allows you to explore the available symbols and insert them with a click or keystroke. Search for characters based on words in their Unicode description. MathType contains a database of character descriptions and knowledge of what characters are contained in most math fonts. For example, search for "less" to see the many variations of the < symbol.

Three Ways to Create Equations

  • Point-and-Click Editing with Automatic Formatting: Equations can be created quickly by choosing templates from MathType's palettes and typing into their empty slots. MathType applies mathematical spacing rules automatically as you type.
  • Type TeX or LaTeX: If you already know the TeX typesetting language, you can type it into the MathType window or directly into a Word document. TeX editing can be mixed with point-and-click editing so you get the best of both worlds. You can also paste in equations from existing TeX documents.
  • Type TeX or LaTeX directly into a Microsoft Word document: With MathType's unique TeX Toggle feature, you can type TeX directly into a Word document. When you are done, use the TeX Toggle command to turn it into a typeset equation. If you want to edit it later, use TeX Toggle again to turn it back into TeX to make your changes.

Saves Time

  • Save Expressions in the Toolbar: Drag frequently used equations and expressions to the MathType toolbar so they can be inserted later with just a click or a keystroke.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: MathType has customizable keyboard shortcuts for virtually every symbol, template, and command.

Easier to Use

  • Toolbar and Menu in Microsoft Word 2011: MathType adds a toolbar and menu to Microsoft Word 2011, allowing quick access to its features and powerful commands to do equation numbering, produce great-looking math web pages, and much more. MathType also works with Word 2008 but lacks the toolbar and menu support.

Better Results

  • Color all or part of an equation: Coloring an equation can make it stand out. Use color to highlight part of an equation and focus your students' attention on it. Show what changed in each step of a multi-step procedure. Great for slide presentations and teaching.

Customizable keyboard shortcuts

  • Shortcuts for virtually every command: While pull-down menus make MathType easy, keyboard shortcuts make it fast as well, allowing power users to drive MathType without taking their hands off the keyboard.
  • Assign new shortcuts to your favorite symbols or equations: You can assign your own keyboard shortcut to any symbol from any font, or any equation or expression you want to insert quickly from the keyboard.

Unlimited undo and redo

  • Unlike Equation Editor, MathType lets you undo your editing one step at a time, all the way back to the way your equation was at the start of the session.

Automatically formats as you type

  • MathType applies the rules of mathematical typesetting as you type. It automatically chooses fonts, style, spacing and position as you enter the equation. You can modify MathType's rules to accommodate your own style, or switch between automatic formatting and plain text modes with a single keystroke. For maximum flexibility and control, MathType gives you the ability to nudge equation elements in 1/4 point increments.

Add or delete matrix/table rows and columns

  • Unlike Equation Editor, MathType allows you to add or delete rows and columns within existing matrices and tables by using the commands on the new Matrix menu.

Save common equations and expressions for reuse with just a click or a keystroke

  • Saves time: Holds hundreds of your most frequently used symbols, expressions, and equations.
  • Drag and drop expressions: Drag from your equation and drop onto the toolbar.
  • Insert symbols or expressions with just a keystroke: Associate a keyboard shortcut with any symbol, template, or expression so that it can be inserted later using just the keyboard.
  • Named tabs: Organize your toolbar expressions and symbols using named tabs (e.g. “Geometry”, “Science”, etc.). Customize the names as you see fit.

Customizable function recognition

  • Automatic function recognition: When you type “sin”, “cos”, “lim”, etc., MathType understands you are typing a function and will automatically change its font to “function style”.
  • Add your own functions: You can also add your own functions to the list that MathType recognizes.

Three toolbar viewing sizes

  • You can choose from three different viewing sizes for MathType's toolbars, making it easy to adjust the way you work to both small and large screens, as well as make it easier for those that simply like larger buttons.

International character and keyboard support

  • Asian characters: Supports input of East Asian characters using standard input methods.
  • Accents: European accented character support.

Apple iWork compatibility
MathType works well with Pages 5.0, Keynote 6.0, Numbers 3.0, and Apple iWork '09, but not with earlier versions. Apple picked MathType as the equation editor to use with iWork. When MathType is installed, a MathType Equation item appears on the Insert menu in the individual applications: Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.

Microsoft Office compatibility
MathType 6.7 for Macintosh works with Microsoft Mac Office 2011. MathType works with Office 2008 applications but lacks the toolbar and menu commands it provides within Office 2011 applications. Only an Insert Equation button is available in Word and PowerPoint 2008.

MathType with Apple Pages, Keynote, and Numbers

Insert equations into documents:

  • MathType Equation command on the Insert menu: When MathType is installed, a MathType Equation command appears in the Insert menus of all iWork applications. This command inserts a new equation at the insertion point.
  • Double-click to edit: If you later want to edit an existing equation, simply double-click on it and it will open in a MathType equation window. Make changes then close the window to update the document.
  • Cut, copy, paste, and drag-and-drop: You can also copy equations from a MathType window into a document or vice-versa, using either clipboard cut, copy, and paste or with drag-and-drop. Note that doing so will not align the equation with the document's text. Use the Insert Equation command for that.

Works in Pages, Keynote, and Numbers:


  • Pages documents: Add equations to tests, classroom materials, research papers, etc.
  • Keynote presentations: Add equations to technical presentations, etc.
  • Numbers spreadsheets: Add equations to cells and graphs.
