What is MathML?

MathML is an industry standard way of encoding mathematics using XML developed under the auspices of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). A large number of software packages, including browsers, editors, computer algebra programs and publishing software, support MathML to display mathematical notation and to enable copying it between applications and websites. Unlike other ways of putting math in a web page, such as images and PDFs, MathML provides ways to directly encode various interactivity properties of an equation, which makes it an ideal choice for dynamic math on the web. Design Science has played a leading role in developing this important new technology.
