Abstract

Taking Mathematica and xThink as representatives of the state of the art in interactive mathematics, we argue conventional mathematical user interfaces leave much to be desired, because they separate the mathematics from the context of the user interface, which remains as unmathematical as ever. We put the usability of such systems into mathematical perspective, and compare the conventional approach with a novel declarative, gesture-based approach, exemplified by TruCalc, a novel calculator we have developed. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
