Mathbrowser
Mathbrowser is one of the discontinued specialty browsers, which is created in such a way, that it can browse standard HTML documents as well as specially formatted documents. These documents express mathematical features.
Features of Mathbrowser
The later versions of Mathbrowser do not possess any personal rendering engine in the HTML format. The new versions are only “MSIE skins”.
Other older versions which work with Windows 3.1, had individual HTML engines that were primitive.
Mathsoft
- Mathbrowser was written by Mathsoft Incorporation and one could previously download it or collect information about it from their web site.
- Now it appears that the use of Mathbrowser is no longer continued because the manufacturing company web site does not even mention the name of Mathbrowser.
- It seem that the older Mathbrowser, sends a string that is totally empty, therefore those who tries to detect this browser, finds it to be empty.
Mathcad
Mathbrowser was originally an old application for 32-bit Windows and it bases itself on the Mathcad 5.0 version.
In 1995 it was available as a free browser.
Users knew that Mathcad was a tool that could effectively publish mathematics for the Internet.
It could solve differential equations in different methods of calculations and various other complicated mathematical problems.
Most of the important functions of Mathbrowser are performed under Mathcad 6.0.
