Riassunto

Open Mathematical Documents (OMDoc) is a content markup scheme for mathematical documents including articles, textbooks, interactive books, and courses. OMDoc also serves as the content language for agent communication of mathematical services and a mathematical software bus. This book documents OMDoc version 1.2, the final and mature release of OMDoc 1. The system has been validated in varied applications, and features modularized language design, OPENMATH and MATHML for the representation of mathematical objects.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Computers arechanging the way wethink. Of course,nearly all desk-workers have access to computers and use them to email their colleagues, search the Web for information and prepare documents. But I'm not referring to that. I mean that people have begun to think about what they do in compu- tional terms and to exploit the power of computers to do things that would previously have been unimaginable. This observation is especially true of mathematicians. Arithmetic c- putation is one of the roots of mathematics. Since Euclid's algorithm for ?nding greatest common divisors, many seminal mathematical contributions have consisted of new procedures. But powerful computer graphics have now enabled mathematicians to envisage the behaviour of these procedures and, thereby, gain new insights, make new conjectures and explore new avenues of research. Think of the explosive interest in fractals, for instance. This has been driven primarily by our new-found ability rapidly to visualise fractal shapes, such as the Mandelbrot set. Taking advantage of these new oppor- nities has required the learning of new skills, such as using computer algebra and graphics packages.
