Abstract

This paper describes MathScribe, a powerful user interface for computer algebra systems. The interface makes use of a bitmapped display, windows, menus, and a mouse. Significant new features of MathScribe are its display of both input and output in two-dimensional form, its ability to select previous expressions, and its computationally efficient manner of displaying large expressions.
