Since 1990 Scientific Word Ltd has been distributing Scientific Word/Scientific WorkPlace/Scientific Notebook to leading academic and commercial researchers in universities and central banks around the world. Back in 1982 I had a Masters dissertation to write about the Korteweg–de Vries equation. So I got my girlfriend’s mother – she did typing jobs for pocket money on her electric golfball typewr
iter – to type it up for me. Helen’s Mum didn’t like me much anyway; she liked me even less after she’d had to change her golfball (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNUEUth7qjc) every time my dissertation called for a mathematical symbol or an italic (and change it back again afterwards). Sad to say, the relationship with Helen didn’t survive the experience. Three years later, I was back at university writing a doctoral thesis. And that’s how, 30 years ago, we got into PC-based scientific word-processing with a program called T3 – the DOS forerunner of Scientific Word
So if you’ve ever experienced pain getting your mathematical papers written...well, we understand. The pain of trying to write equations in Microsoft Word. The pain of learning a programming language like LaTeX. The pain of struggling with the appearance rather than thinking about the content of your document. If writing your papers isn't the most fun thing you do – and if the output isn't as beautiful as our samples show – then today's your lucky day! Because from today you can easily produce the most amazing-looking documents (the academic content, that's up to you)! By switching to the world's premier scientific wordprocessing / technical typesetting software for your papers and presentations. Check out the videos to see examples of the software in use, and visit http://www.sciword.co.uk/demo.htm for a FREE 30 day trial.
