Subject: Now Everyone Can Discuss & Publish Math

Hi, iMath (Internet Math Consortium) is pleased to announce a solution to
the long standing problem of Internet communication incorporating math
notation.

iMath Communicator is a math enhanced Web browser/editor supported by a net
service to enable the sending and collection of messages with math, the
storing and publishing of math pages, and the open discussion of math. iMath
is available free for individual use and for institutional use by iMath
affiliates.

Anyone can begin communicating about math for free by visiting
http://www.imath.net and downloading iMath Communicator.

iMath believes that math comprehension can be significantly improved by
enabling math educators and students to discuss math - using math notation -
anywhere anytime via the Internet.

Web math discussions are an effective use of both educators and students
time. A Web math page supports the rich formatting associated with hand
written math and is easy to read and edit. Web math discussions foster
quality relationships and allow the educational issues to be identified and
documented. Classroom interactions become more focused and relevant to the
issues facing students. The Internet creates an opportunity for students to
interact with each other outside the classroom, and now with iMath these
discussions can include math.
