A genuinely first-rate resource

The MathML Handbook by technical writer and expert Pavi Sandhu is a straightforward, "user friendly" guide to MathML, -- an XML-based markup language especially designed for mathematicians who publish on the World Wide Web. Individual chapters teach the basics of MathML, how to display MathML in web browsers, how to convert between TeX and MathML, how to utilize MathML for computations, and much, much more. With an accompanying CD featuring demo software for viewing and creating works with MathML, The MathML Handbook is highly recommended as being a genuinely first-rate resource.

Great for the Beginner and the Advanced

I bought this book as a MathML beginner and was greatlyimpressed by its easy intoduction to the topic. My XMLwas a bit rusty, but I wasn't a total newbie. This bookhas covered all my needs for MathML processing and I haveseen no need to buy any other reference on the subject. AsI have been able to do all my project on the subject withoutgetting lost, I must really have found a good bookMy co-worker, who is much more advanced than I also found this book very useful as a reference guide and even learned from the chapters on the various MathML supporting applications and dynamic web.Aside from the content, this book reads very well. Theauthor is clear, concise, and doesn't clutter the book withpersonal nonsense like so many other technical authors. Asthe users of MathML continue to increase, this book appears just in time for the early adapters. As a big fan of MathML,I hope others read this book and use MathML themselves. Thereis no longer an excuse to refrain from MathML on account ofa lack of hardcopy documentation.
