Mathwright is an authoring platform designed by teachers, for teachers.
Teachers create Microworlds that their students read on the Web in their browser with MathwrightWeb, or off line with Mathwright32 Reader.
Microworlds
are multipage documents that behave like Java Applets on the web (or off line).
In fact, Mathwright is written in Java. Mathwright
Microworlds are Java applications. But teachers build their books page-by-page
in an object-oriented point-and-click GUI and an object-oriented mathematics
scripting language called Mathscript that allows
them to build these Java applications at a high level, without having to know
Java at all.
Authors work with two kinds of Objects:
They design their screens with Display Objects
They script the book, pages, and the display objects with Mathematical Objects
