The Gold Standard for Mathematical, Scientific, and Technical Publishing Scientific Workplace gives a WYSIWYG-type interface to LaTeX for professional-quality mathematical typesetting; it uses true mathematical notation, so you can compose and edit documents directly at the screen, without thinking in a programming language. It also adds the computing, simplifying and plotting capabilities of the included computer-algebra system MuPAD.

Typesetting Features

• Enter text and mathematics naturally in the same paragraph
• Format documents easily using tags to define the document structure
• Generate automatic footnotes, cross-references, indexes, equation numbering, bibliographies, and tables of contents
• Import LaTeX files produced by other programs
• Produce portable LaTeX output
• Export documents to HTML, typeset PDF, DVI and RTF

You don't have to learn LaTeX to produce typeset documents. Choose among more than 150 document shells that produce both general purpose documents and documents designed to meet the specific typesetting requirements of many universities and scholarly journals.

The Power of An Easy-to-Use Computer Algebra System

The LaTeX Beamer document class produces presentations, handouts, and transparency slides as typeset PDF files. The class provides global and local control of layout, color, and fonts; a variety of list and list display mechanisms; and many dynamic transitions between slides. Beamer presentations can contain text, mathematics, graphics, and animations.

A single SWP or SW file contains an entire Beamer presentation. You define global formatting with commands in the preamble. You create each slide in the presentation inside frame environments, which are defined with fragments provided as part of the support. Transitions are also defined with fragments.

Mathematical Computations and Plotting Features

Scientific WorkPlace combines the ease of entering and editing mathematics in natural mathematical notation with the ability to compute with the built-in computer algebra engine, MuPAD. In this integrated working environment, you can enter mathematics and perform computations without having to think or work in a programming language.

With MuPAD, you can evaluate, factor, combine, expand, and simplify terms and expressions that contain integers, fractions, and real and complex numbers, as required in simple arithmetic and algebra. You can also evaluate integrals and derivatives, perform matrix and vector operations, find standard deviations, and perform many other more complex computations involved in calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics. Additionally, you can create 2D and 3D plots of polynomials, trigonometric functions, and exponentials, and you can create animated 2D and 3D plots and explore them with the MuPAD VCAM window.
