The Xmath group organized the First European Workshop on
MathML & Scientific e-Contents, 21-22 November 2002 in Trieste, Italy.

The workshop aimed at bringing together content providers and interested developers to discuss and share the best practices of the ongoing research, applications and projects on all topics related to Mathematical Markup Language -MathML and enabling technologies for the use of mathematics and scientific content on the Web.

The workshop focused on all areas of brand new technologies provided they relate to web-based interactive mathematics, math typesetting, e-learning and scientific communication. Of particular interest is work involving the low-bandwidth scientific community in remote areas, streaming of scientific lectures, open source technologies and e-learning with math on the Web.

Programme and Seminars

The Workshop was broadcasted live on the Internet - see video archive

The Xmath server has not yet been updated with necessary software. A Demo Tool available now is FlashAnimations which will refine mathematical courses on the web.

The use of webMATHEMATICA and Xmath-files (*.msp) is for the moment only possible by using local clients. *.msp-files are socalled Mathematica Server Pages and a JAVA servlet container is for the moment only installed localy. An error message will occur when trying to access these files remotely.

Xmath project (xmath.org) is finally approved by the commision!

The Xmath server has not yet been updated with necessary software. A Demo Tool available now is FlashAnimations which will refine mathematical courses on the web.

The chat tool ScientificTalk may be downloaded. It demonstrates communaction with the use of true mathematical notation and graphics and will be a key software in Xmath.
