PicksMathType de Apple para iBooks Author

MathType trabaja con nuevas aplicaciones autoras de iBooks de Apple para Mac

LONG BEACH, California, 19 de enero, 2012, Design Science ha anunciado hoy 
que
Apple ha elegido MathType como el editor de ecuaciones para su nueva 
aplicación de

iBook Author para Mac. Los autores son ahora capaces de crear libros 
electrónicos que incluyen
notación matemática que se puede leer en las tabletas iPad.

"Obviamente, los libros electrónicos son el futuro de la educación y el 
futuro es ahora.
Nos sentimos contentos de tener la oportunidad de trabajar con Apple, y de 
que iBooks Author
maneje tan bien las matemáticas", dijo Paul Topping, Presidente y Director 
General de Design Science.

Dentro de iBooks Author, un comando de Insertar Ecuación de MathType aparece 
en el menú
de Inserción si MathType se ha instalado. Elegir este comando inserta una
ecuación en el documento en el punto de inserción. Esto es similar a la 
forma
en que MathType trabaja con la suite de oficina, iWork '09 office suite de 
Apple. Con el fín de hacer las
matemáticas accesibles a los usuarios con problemas de visión, los usuarios 
pueden asociar texto
que se hable para cada ecuación utilizando el software de lector de 
pantalla, VoiceOver de Apple.

MathType es utilizado por millones de educadores, científicos, ingenieros y
profesionales de la edición para incluir libros de texto de calidad, la 
notación matemática
en todo tipo de documentos impresos, presentaciones en la web, y ahora 
libros electrónicos.
En los Estados Unidos, MathType cuesta $57 para los usuarios académicos, $97 
para los usuarios no académicos; en los Estados Unidos, las actualizaciones
son 37 dólares para uso académico, $49 para los usuarios no académicos. 
Cualquier persona puede
Descargar MathType desde el sitio web de Design Science y probarlo gratis 
durante 30
días.
