Mathematical User Interface

چکیده
Mathematical notation is becoming more important as software is more often used in day-to-day life. Schools are starting to support e-learning, science is penetrating WWW and search engines can handle more complex questions. We have evaluated several applications which support mathematical input and could be used for graphical user interface (UI) of a mathematical search engine – EgoMath. None of the evaluated UIs met more than two of our requirements. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of yet another mathematical user interface focusing on identified issues. We also summarise the state-of-art of other available and active solutions. The main goal of the new mathematical UI is to help the user provide input which will be well understood by the underlying application. Input symbols can be selected from a large domain using a limited set of keys. This should be intuitive and the application should provide hints like lexical and syntactical verification.
