MathUI is an international workshop to discuss how users can be best supported when doing/learning/searching for/interacting with mathematics using a computer.
* Is mathematical user interface design a design for representing mathematics, embedding mathematical context, or a specific design for mathematicians?
* How is mathematics for which purpose best represented?
* What specifically math-oriented support is needed?
* Does learning of math require a platform different than other learning platforms?
* Which mathematical services can be offered? To be investigated: automatic conversions by drag-and-dropping in formulæ. (F Wang at MathUI 14)
* Which services can be meaningfully combined?
* What best practices wrt. mathematics can be found and how can they be best communicated?
We invite all questions, that care for the use of mathematics on computers and how the user experience can be improved, to be discussed in the workshop.
TOPICS include:
user-requirements for math interfaces
presentation formats
Two modes to select a symbol, depending on device. (M Pollanen at MathUI 14) mobile-devices powered mathematics
cultural differences in practices of mathematical languages
didactically sensible scenarios of use
spreadsheets as mathematical interfaces
manipulations of mathematical expressions
Your submissions will be reviewed by an international programme committee whose comments and recommendations will be sent back by June 6th requesting a final version no later than June 16th.
Moreover, MathUI will be concluded by an exhibit-like demonstration session. Proposed demonstrations should be sent by email until June 20th, containing a URL to a software description, a title, a short abstract of the demonstrated features.
