Abstract: A system and method of creating and presenting mathematical documents are provided. The system comprises an input/output component for receiving user input and for displaying a mathematical document on a display device, a document repository 104 for storing the mathematical document and a mathematical engine for performing computations. The document includes markup that specifies display options. The method comprises the steps of receiving input data that represent characters, symbols and mathematical operations as well as manipulations and presentation control of the mathematical document, displaying mathematical expressions or a combination of mathematical expressions and text in an electronic document, performing computations on the mathematical expressions contained in the document, and controlling the formatting and display of the document.

Abstract: A gesture feature recognition system and method is provided. The gesture feature recognition system comprises an input/output component for recording pen strokes and for displaying them as strokes on a display device, a repository for storing gesture recognition data and a recognizer component for analyzing the strokes using the gesture recognition data. The method comprises the steps of receiving input data that represents the stroke sequence of handwritten characters and symbols, comparing the input data to a predefined symbol set stored in a repository, identifying characters and symbols present in the input data, and identifying the location of relevant features of the characters and symbols.
