Mathador is an open source software package which includes an online WYSIWYG editor and a viewer for mathematic and scientific notations.
Mathador can load and save mathematical expressions in MathML and also it can save in image formats such as PNG and JPEG. Since Mathador is applet based it is platform independent and it can run on any browser that use the Java2 Plugin. Mathador has been tested on IE, Netscape and Mozilla (Linux platform).

Mathador has been developed at Kit-Lab Knowledge and Information Technology Laboratory at Department of Mathematics and Computer Science University of Perugia, by Valentino Santucci in fulfilment of his undergraduate thesis under the supervision of Prof. Alfredo Milani.

 

Mathador Users
Mathador can be used by normal users or web designers as a way to develop and view mathematics on the web.

Mathador & MathML
MathML, the format adopted by Mathador is the standard, delivered by the W3C for mathematical notation, then expressions created with Mathador can be ported to any other program MathML W3C compatible.

Mathador API
Mathador is more than just a software, it is, also, an API focused on the mathematic notation. An advanced user can use the Mathador API for create his/her own software or for encapsulate Mathador into existing systems, for example an e-learning system.
The Mathador API can be accessed from Javascript in all browser supporting it this scripting language.

Mathador Architecture
Mathador is modular and it has an extensible architecture. It can be expanded by adding news parsers or a serializers for other mathematical notation format (for example TeX/LaTeX).
