For iBooks to be at all useful for physical sciences, solid support for mathematics is a must. MathType is not an acceptible workaround since one needs to have equation numbering, in-line math expressions, complex symbols, etc...all of which are already in LaTeX.


For Chem., one needs a means to embed 3D structures and chemical info, such as done with jmol.


Actually, come to think of it, Mathematica does most of this already...just not very well.

MathMagic v8.0 supports PDF for Copy and Paste, or Drag and Drop.

You can simply drag your equation from MathMagic equation editor window to iBooks Author window.

Your equation or symbols will be inserted in high quality PDF format including Color support.


PDF equation can be dragged or pasted back to MathMagic window for re-editing, so no need to retype or save a backup copy.


As MathMagic supports MathML and TeX, you can bring your TeX or MathML expressions into MathMagic window, then to your destination such as iBooks Author or Keynote.


Free trial available for up to 100 equations, from mathmagic.com
