MathType is not an Apple product, and its vendor did not make the product available for macOS Catalina, or Big Sur. You should check with the vendor site for any Big Sur product planning. MathType was updated for MS-Word, Word for iPad, and there is an online version of MathType that works with Google Docs. There is no indication of any MathType product for macOS, and if your heart is set in using MathType, then consider Google Docs, or MS Word.


Pages has a built-in equation editor that is a TeX/LaTeX and MathML translator. It is not sitting on top of a MacTeX 2020 distribution, and has limitations as pointed out in the Apple article. This article makes reference to MathType from a timeframe when MathType was actively developed for macOS by its former owner Design Science.
