Text:
Mathtype is a Desk Accessory that allows construction of virtually any 
 mathematical expression by means of simple point-and-click techniques.
     All  constructions are easily portable from one document to another via
the scrapbook. Type style and spacing are selected automatically
according to standard mathematical printing practice; the space bar and
arrows are never used for spacing.
Lines for fractions, radical signs, and grouping symbols expand 
automatically to accommodate content. Pull-down menus list templates
for virtually every elementary construct. Macros can be made for
special and frequent use.  
Adequate tutorials are provided, and the entire application can be
practiced and learned before committing to a purchase by using the
freely distributed demonstration disk, TryMathType. This disk is nearly
a replica of MathType; the only differences being that printing is
bit-mapped, and all print-outs have X's drawn through them as in the
example  below.  
The examples here are printed  at half the size in which they were
constructed. TryMathType is in the SMUG library. 
        
The program is by Design Science, 6475-B East Pacific Coast Highway,
Suite 392, Long Beach, Calif. 90803; (213)433-0685. It retails for
$149.
