Reading #20: MathPad 2 : A System for the Creation and Exploration of Mathematical Sketches

by Joseph J LaViola Jr and Robert C Zeleznik

Comments: Marty

This paper presents a cool math sketch program that can do many things and simulate some math stuff... The cool thing about this is the interface. It is a big graph paper you can write lots of different equations, systems of equations, and diagrams. Gestures are used to help perform segmentation and identification. It can also generate graphs and plots. 12 people or so tested the system and gave some positive feedback. The interface is easy to use and the authors want to be able to include even more stuff and things... and bits.

This seems like a sketch interface for matlab or something. It can simulate many mathy things and is a general purpose math tool. I don't know what its current state is, since this is a fairly old paper.
