Great for Drafting Tex – MyScript MathPad Review

To be clear, this is not a calculator. It's not meant to be a calculator. If you're in the market for a calculator, you should check out MyScript Calculator, by the same developer, which uses the MathPad engine to solve standard equations. So why would you want MyScript MathPad? Because it's an easy way of creating potentially complex equations, which can then be exported as a graphic or, even better, as TeX. In other words, this is a visual equation editor that allows you to draw equations on the screen and have them automatically converted into symbols and, if you choose, markup. This is especially of value to people creating presentations that require embedded equations. And it's potentially quite valuable for instructors looking for a digital whiteboard (although getting the expected output on the first try will certainly require a bit of practice). It's also useful for students who are required (or prefer) to type up their homework and projects (your instructors will thank you).
