<\/a>EquatIO<\/h2>\r\nEquatIO is very intuitive and easy to use. Anywhere you can input text, you can use EquatIO to write math. Anywhere you encounter math, you can use EquatIO to read and copy math. EquatIO handles multiple inputs and outputs including plain text, LaTeX, MathML, and images. EquatIO also has chemistry and graphing tools. Langara has a site license for EquatIO<\/a>, which means faculty, students, and staff can log in with their Office365 email and use all features of EquatIO.\r\nInstalling EquatIO<\/h3>\r\nGoogle Chrome Extension<\/a>\r\n\r\nDownload EquatIO for Mac\/Windows<\/a>\r\n\r\nMathspace<\/a>\r\n\r\nAccess EquatIO on mobile devices<\/a>.\r\n\r\nLog in with your Langara email account when asked to authenticate.\r\n\r\n
