What do you like best about MathType?

It has an option for every mathematical function I have needed. All of it is available with relatively minimal clicking/searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MathType?

It's definitely not the best looking software I have seen. Also, it would have been great to have the freedom to pick my own categories for things since many functions are not located where I would have put them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MathType:

Look for a trial first. I have coworkers that were very frustrated with the setup (but they regularly complain). Just be sure it is working the way you need it to. I do believe it worked well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MathType solving and how is that benefiting you?

When needing to create problems or formulas, it has helped me create them to include in notes, worksheets, handouts, assignments and assessments. I have tried other products, and this one worked very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MathType?

I use MathType constantly when I am making activities for my students. It is great for worksheets, guided notes, and other classroom activities and lessons. The most convenient feature is being able to copy and paste math equations and save them as images. I use this to put together review games, warm-up activities and quizzes in my classroom. It has all the symbols I need for my lessons. I love that you can also change the size and font color, which makes it easier for me to customize lessons and materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MathType?

Most of the time Math Type fits all my needs, although I do wish that I could add a space easily. Sometimes I want multiple equations side by side but spaced out, or I want to add text right away. There are some features of it I still have not figured out how to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MathType solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has made creating classroom materials much simpler and easier to understand for my students. Math expressions are clear, easy to read, and follow proper syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MathType?

Mathtype made everything easy. I am an engineer and I work with mathematical equations a lot. With Mathtype, I easily write formulas in Word and then when I want to write a report or paper in Latex, I can easily convert it to the other types that I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MathType?

I think that there is some place of improvement in the appearance of the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recommend everyone to install it. Without Mathtype it is really hard to write mathematical equations. Before installing it, I had hard time writing mathematical equations, but now I really enjoy it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MathType?

Makes life easy and fast. Coming from primarily using word, this was a stressbuster and I wish I found out about it earlier. Especially for things like formatting, this is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MathType?

formatting for things like matrices and other complex issues can be difficult. Or more time consuming but this is the best option there is so it is pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MathType:

It takes some time to get used to but stick with it. I also think some sort of thing so that you dont have to constantly transfer back and forth bteween word and mathtype would be better. I believe latex has that ability but it is much more difficult to get used to so if this was integrated into word/pages, it would be much better and more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MathType solving and how is that benefiting you?

typing papers, making notes & outlines for documentation and guidance for future employees. It is a quicker way to type mathematical expressions and is fairly easy to organize within a document instead of having to deal with spacing issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
