Type and handwrite mathematical notation in Canvas with MathType. The popular equation editor for MS Word is now seamlessly integrated into Canvas.

MathType is the world’s leading equation editor that allows you to write math notation as easily as you write text. Perfect for students, teachers, editors, and technical writers, MathType streamlines the creation of high-quality technical and scientific content across various platforms. With full symbol coverage, MathType stands out as the only equation editor of its kind. But MathType is not just for math – it also simplifies chemical notation with ChemType and its customized toolbar that includes the periodic table and other chemistry-related symbols.

Available for Canvas users as an upgrade, it is the default math editor for other LMS environments.
