Easy export to HTML and LaTeX
DirectMath produces high quality documents in PDF form and HTML form.

DirectMath is a front end for the Mathematica and Maxima computer algebra systems. DirectMath uses a powerful built-in pattern matching system to anticipate the computations you want to do, making it possible for you to perform a wide range of operations without having to learn a specialized programming language. In particular, DirectMath makes it possible to do mathematical calculations in a semi-automated way, with user actions controling the computer algebra system.

DirectMath includes a set of drawing tools that allow you create sophisticated "live" drawings to illustrate mathematical concepts. The drawing tools couple simple and easy to use standard drawing tools with a powerful system of constraints. This allows you to create drawings that express mathematical ideas in a precise way. Drawings with constraints update automatically as you move parts of the drawing around.
