Flexible Mathematical GUI Controls for Mathematical Electronical Documents

The MuPAD Group develops mathematical software components which may be used as
plugins in other software packages: An editor for input and output of
mathematical expressions, a Control for mathematical computations based on
MuPAD and a graphics tool for visualization and manipulation of
three-dimensional objects. These Controls can be integrated into presentation
tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Internet Browsers or professional authoring
tools such as Toolbook, Director or Authorware. The Control for mathematical
computations combines the power of a computer algebra system with the demand
for special user interfaces for educational purposes. The target group of these
Controls are authors and publishers of electronical mathematical documents.
