Math Encoding Gets Extra Credit
DOI: 10.1063/1.1372137
In the December 2000 issue of Physics Today (page 76 ) you reported that Design Science had acquired WebEQ, a suite of software tools for building dynamic math Web pages based on MathML (Mathematical Markup Language). Unfortunately, your article describes MathML as a “program produced by Wolfram Research,” which is incorrect.
MathML is an XML encoding for mathematical expressions standardized through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), 1 and was developed by the W3C Math Working Group. While Wolfram Research was represented on the working group, so were many other organizations, including Design Science, Waterloo Maple, IBM, and the American Mathematical Society. Complete working group membership information is available at ref. .
