Vancouver, Canada – InfoLogic, Inc. today is pleased to introduce MathMagic 8.0 Lite for Mac OS X, the first free app in their suite of award-winning, professional, equation editors for Mac OS X. MathMagic is the brand selected for use by thousands of large publishers and university presses around the world, and the 16 year old company offers various Pro and Personal Editions of their products, which have become a standard of the publishing industry. MathMagic Lite offers hundreds of mathematical expressions and symbols, reads LaTeX and MathML, and saves in high quality formats. The standalone app includes a streamlined interface that helps general users focus on equation writing more easily.

MathMagic Lite reads various Math formats including MathML, LaTeX, Plain TeX, Wiki equations, MathJax, and MathType, just like the paid version of MathMagic Personal and MathMagic Pro. It also reads all MathMagic Personal and MathMagic Pro created equation formats such as PDF, EPS, PICT, PNG, WMF, Math Speech, and more. And MathMagic Lite for Mac can save or copy expressions in PDF, PNG, and PICT formats, so equations can be used by many other applications and documents, such as: iWork Pages, Keynote, iBooks Author, Illustrator, web design apps, and more. MathMagic Lite can read out math expressions aloud via Text-To-Speech or in a text based sentence so it is also useful for learning how to read Math expressions and symbols. Its Text-To-Speech capabilities are particularly valuable for special-needs students. Unlike the paid versions, MathMagic Lite does not support color and converts imported color text to gray.

iBooks Author, Apple’s recently released free application for OS X, promises to accelerate the iPad revolution in education. According to Apple, the new app allows users to easily create “beautiful Multi-Touch textbooks – and just about any other kind of book – for iPad. With galleries, video, interactive diagrams, 3D objects, and more, these books bring content to life in ways the printed page never could.” MathMagic 8.0 Lite complements the ease of use offered by iBooks Author, and facilitates the creation of new textbooks that incorporate equations and scientific symbols, as well as the conversion of print textbooks for the iPad.

With its superior quality and productivity, MathMagic is the choice of millions of professors, students, scientists, engineers, and school districts that rely on it for their math communication and publications.
