Abstract

Current approaches to presentation of mathematics (on paper or in electronic format) have usability drawbacks that make learning and appreciation of mathematics challenging and often frustrating. We propose a development of a software user toolkit aimed to facilitate the creation of highly usable and effective presentations of mathematical ideas. In this paper we identify three problems which readers of math documents usually experience, and give a vision of how we might address those problems by designing a more interactive and intelligent interface
