Project Euclid, the online information community for mathematics and statistics resources from independent and society publishers, is implementing a new technology to make the presentation of mathematics as attractive on the web as it is on paper. MathJax, an open-source JavaScript display engine, renders standard mathematics codes readable in regular web browsers.
Both TeX and MathML-coded mathematics can be viewed on any modern browser, without new plug-ins or font installations. Currently, MathJax is turned on for a set of 20 titles in Project Euclid, and more titles are being added regularly. Eventually, MathJax will be used throughout Project Euclid.
MathJax is a joint project of the American Mathematical Society, Design Science, Inc., and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. As project sponsors, these institutions also provide major funding. Together with the American Physical Society, Project Euclid is one of the original supporters of MathJax.
Project Euclid was developed and deployed by the Cornell University Library and is jointly managed by Cornell and the Duke University Press. The initiative seeks to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics.
