Apple has chosen MathType as the equation editor for its new iBooks Author application for Mac. Authors are now able to create ebooks that include mathematical notation which can be read on iPad tablets.
As with iWorks before, within iBooks Author, an Insert MathType Equation command appears on the Insert menu if MathType is installed. Choosing this command inserts an equation into the document at the insertion point. This is 100% similar to how MathType works with Apple’s iWork ’09 office suite, allowing for a zero learning curve. In order to make the math accessible to users with vision impairments, users can associate text to be spoken for each equation using Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader software.
MathType is used by millions of educators, scientists, engineers and publishing professionals to include textbook-quality, mathematical notation in all types of printed documents, presentations, on the web and now ebooks.
