Macworld Expo: Apple Picks MathType for its new iWork '09 Suite




Equations can now be inserted and edited in all 
three iWork applications: Pages, Keynote, and Numbers

LONG BEACH, Calif. ­ January 13, 2009 ­ Design 
Science today announced that Apple has chosen 
MathType™ as the equation editor for its new 
iWork '09 suite of applications. Phil Schiller, 
Apple's senior vice president of worldwide 
product marketing, made this announcement in the 
keynote address at last week's Macworld Expo 
conference in San Francisco and demonstrated 
<http://www.dessci.com/en/company/press/misc/Macworld09Keynote.jpg>editing 
a MathType equation in a Pages '09 document. 
MathType works with all three iWork applications: 
Pages (word processor), Keynote (presentation), and Numbers (spreadsheet).

"The Mac has always been big in education, 
science, and engineering." said Paul Topping, 
Design Science's President & CEO. "Until now, Mac 
users that need equations were limited to using 
Microsoft Office. Now they have a choice." It is 
expected that many Mac users in these markets 
will make the move to iWork. If they have 
existing Microsoft Office documents containing 
MathType or Equation Editor equations, these can 
be imported into the new iWork applications and 
the equations will remain editable.

MathType has long been known as the professional 
version of the Equation Editor in Microsoft 
Office, used by millions of educators, scientists 
and engineers to create papers and presentations 
with textbook-quality equations. According to 
scientific and technical publishers, over 85% of 
submitted manuscripts containing mathematical 
notation are Microsoft Word documents with 
MathType or Equation Editor equations. Now that 
MathType works with Apple's iWork, coverage of 
the most popular word processing and presentation 
applications on Mac and Windows is virtually complete.

MathType is US $57 for academic users, $97 for 
non-academic users; upgrades are US $37 for 
academic users, $49 for non-academic users. 
Anyone can download MathType from the Design 
Science website and try it free for 30 days.
