News

- iMathGeo is a software I began to develop when I was a student in math.

- At the beginning, It was only to simplify my teacher’s life in maths. The first goal was to have the best solution to write as faster as possible mathematic text.

- I develop this software in many ways:

  • formal calculation
  • graphics
  • basic differentiel calculus.
  • export/import to others softwares

2. What’s new in the 2.6.0 version

  • New analysis functions :
    • Canonical form
    • zeros for Real and complex numbers.
  • New statisticals functions
    • Randomize, median, quartiles, linear regression, power regression, polynomial regression, logistic regression.
  • Laws :
    • Bernoulli law
    • Binomial law
    • Chi square law
    • Normal law
    • poisson law
    • Student law
  • The "ANS" mechanism is now implemented.
  • New scrollbars for Lion.
  • Many bug correction with OS X 10.7.2.
  • A bug correction with the "derivative" function.
  • A bug correction with the "integrate" function.
  • A bug correction with the mechanism of close or open the document.
  • Now you can auto save your documents
  • Solve function improvment
  • Menu scripts improvements.
  • A new QuickLook module
  • OpenOffice 3.3 and LibreOffice 3.3 support
  • word 2011 support
  • The Roman charset is now supported :

- New functionalities

  • working with big numbers.
  • Arithmetic is now supported (isprime, ifactor algorithm,Bezout, pgcd, div, modulo, etc...)
  • enter your mathematical formulas and transform them so that they are to simplify to the maximum.
  • make symbolic algebraic calculation.
  • make substitutions.
  • it’s possible to draw integral functions .
  • the thread management is totally rewritten.
  • growl is totally supported.
  • through services, it’s possible to do computation under other software like "Numbers", "Pages", etc ...
  • differential calculation.
  • make factorizations.

  • substitution with the "Eval" function.
  • solving equations and inequation
  • working with matrices (eigen vectors search, inverse a symbolic matrix, etc....).
  • Statistics (with mean, correlation, variance, etc ....)
  • Snow Leopard support OS 10.6
  • Now it’s possible to draw the Gamma et Zeta function
  • It’s possible to use Growl small notifications
  • The copy and paste is now under Snow Leopard with PDF format
  • The script Menu is now useable under Snow Leopard
  • support of Pages/Keynote/Iweb etc … under Snow Leopard.
  • Trigonometric mode support (radian, degree, gradient).
  • Applescript support (for the roll and rolld functions)
  • the fsolve function now work correctly with bisectionsolver option.
  • The matrices work now fine with applescript.
  • The software is now more stable with many tasks running together
  • Now the memory and the processing time is freed correctly when a task is killed.
  • finding primitive and integral.
  • solving linear or non linear equation.
  • finding roots in C or R algebra
  • finding limits.
  • factorization
  • Taylor developpement.
  • finding infinits sum or products.
  • working with matrices (inverse, transpose, eigen vectors search etc...).
  • automatic completion in each text field.
  • A better support for superscripting with the new function eval.
  • Many new functionnalities in typographical way (equivallement, union, intersection, etc...)
  • It’s possible now to insert images directly on your document :

- iMathGeo can now be used like a presentation tool.
- It works now in full screen mode.

iMathGeo is now compatible with OpenOffice 3.0 Indesign CS4 and TeXShop through the communication inspector.

  • Now you can directly change the aspect of the document without opening the color or the font palette.
  • It’s possible now to add, divide (etc ...)the last two lines.
  • It’s possible to apply a shadow to the text, it’s useful in the case of a white font.
  • The substitution process is totally rewritten, now it’s possible to do basic superscripting, like a:=3/2.
  • The Applescript management is rewritten too.
All elements are objects, who have properties (matrices, 2D/3D graphics, titles, variables, etc...).
The document is now scriptable too with the font management, color etc...
  • You can export a line through Applescript.
  • You can export all the document to a LaTeX or a pdf file..
  • You can export each lines to a specified image format (tiff/jpeg, etc...) trough the contextual menu. It’s always possible with litteral expression too.
  • It’s possible to add/substract lines.
  • It’s possible to manage subscript.
  • It’s possible to add in the document some titles. It’s useful to find rapidly some information in the document.
  • Now it’s possible through Applescript to do dynamic geometry.
  • Now I add a spotlight plug-in. Now it’s easy to find expressions in your documents
  • I add too a quickLook plug-in.

- Typograficall adds

  • Now the engine manage the spaces between each caracters.
  • Now it’s possible to manage all the fonts and you can use them with all the classical operators.
  • I add new operators, like approximately, different ....
  • Now it’s possible to manage matrices
  • It’s possible to manage new symbols, the symbols Real, Complex, Natural, etc ...
  • It’s possible to write such expression : AB’+BC’ or f’(x) etc....
  • Now it’s possible to use the the underscore symbol.
  • It’s possible to use the °,* symbol.
  • It’s time to use the integral an sum symbol too.
  • It’s always possible to use the, angle, arc and vector symbol too.
  • It’s possible to write from two manners a differential.

- The communication is improved

  • The communication inspector is rewritten, it’s possible to personnalize all the the inspector
  • Word 2008 SP1 is now supported. But if the document is to long, you’ll notice some problems of performance, it’s a problem of word.
  • Now Indesign CS3 is totally supported, you can manage all the fonts.

- Bugs

  • Many bugs corrections, the performance are better and the memory management too.

- With the Graphic

JPG - 103.3 ko
Drag transparent graphics
  • the 3D engine is optimized for cocoa.
  • It’s possible to have a transparent background for all the graphics.
  • to add some squaring to the 2D graph and to change the color of the curve and the axes.

- iMathGeo has now a customizable toolbar.

- all the multitasking architecture is rewritten too.

- The importation and the exportation/Importation are better than before :

  • Indesign CS3 is supprted and CS2 too
  • iWork 08 (Pages, Keynote, Numbers)
  • iWeb 2/iWeb 1
  • and always Word VX and Word 2004.

Some bugs correction...
