Microsoft Mathematics Add-In For Word And OneNote

Many MS Office users are in need of one advance mathematics-specific tool for carrying out complex operations, evaluating polynomials, plotting 2D & 3D graphs, etc. Microsoft recently realized this very need and released an advanced mathematics add-in, supporting both Office 2007 and Office 2010. It encompasses a set of useful tools which serves the need of novice and experienced users alike. As of now it is only for Word 2010, 2007 and OneNote 2010, but hopefully support for other applications will be out soon.

The add-in will help greatly in plotting graphs in 2D and 3D, evaluating numerical results, solving equations and inequalities, and especially assist you in simplifying the algebraic expressions. It adds a new tab on the ribbon called Mathematics, under the tab there is a list of mathematics relevant tools and functionalities. You will find a build-in intrinsic Equation menu, next to it a new tool Compute is placed which has multiple options for computing; Algebraic expressions, Differentiation, Integration, List, and Matrix set.

The Graph pull-down menu offers all the graph-related options and tools. Using these options, you will be able to plot 2D and 3D graphs without much effort involved. It requires you to select the type of graph you want to plot. It also facilitates user to plot 2D & 3D graph on both sides and allows you to plot inequality graph.

Under Mathematics field, you can switch from Complex to Real number fields whenever required and specify the decimal places to streamline the plotting, equations, numeric values with the work previously performed. Angle measures are also provided alongside, you can choose Radians, Degrees, and Gradians as per requirement.

There is a detailed help manual comes with the installation package, as the add-in offers wide range of mathematics-specific functions and tool, don’t forget to thoroughly go through the documentation for better understanding. Considering the diverse mathematics-related solution it offers, it will wholly satisfy the educational and corporate sector needs. The add-in was tested on Office 2010 running on Windows 7 32-bit.
