What is it?
Mathpad is a keypad that makes it easy to type equations. It is intended for engineers,
scientists, students, and professionals in STEM fields who regularly need to write equations or who use
mathematical symbols in their day-to-day work.
With the Mathpad you can type 82 symbols from algebra, calculus, set theory, and
logic, as well as all Greek letters, including uppercase. Mathpad plugs into your computer with a USB-C cable and
works seamlessly alongside your regular keyboard.
The following equations are a few examples of what you can
type directly with the Mathpad:
E = mc²
∛β ≫ ∯Ω(t)dt
(A⊂B) ∧ (A⊂C) ⇔ A ⊂ (B ∪ C)
