Innovative Technology

• The pages of dMath modules are .xml files using
  MathML to present mathematics using the system
  SciLas to edit and manage the files
• MathML is an application of XML designed for
  mathematics using both content and presentation
  tags
• The dMathArchive is evolutionary in the sense
  that everyone may participate in developing the
  Archive (editorial approval)
• The Xmath calculator gives intermediate steps in
  a calculation online using webMathematica

8
Potential Users

• Schools and industrial companies designing
  courses. Teachers and engineers taking these
  courses. Public at large using the Archive as a
  dictionary
• Secondary Due to the strong innovative
  technologies also general publishers,
  researchers, content providers of scientific
  eLearning material
