What is it?

Mathpad is a keypad that makes it easy to type equations. It is intended for engineers, scientists, students, and professionals in STEM fields who regularly need to write equations or who use mathematical symbols in their day-to-day work.

With the Mathpad you can type 120 symbols from algebra, calculus, set theory, and logic, and the full greek alphabet. Mathpad plugs into your computer with a USB-C cable and works seamlessly alongside your regular keyboard.

The following equations are a few examples of what you can type directly with the Mathpad:

E = mc²
∛β ≫ ∯Ω(t)dt
(A⊂B) ∧ (A⊂C) ⇔ A ⊂ (B ∪ C)
