AIP Publishing Partners with MathJax
AIP online journals now offer MathJax to
display mathematics
Melville, NY, November 28, 2011 - AIP
Publishing, a division of the American Institute of Physics,
has become a MathJax partner by providing major funding to the
MathJax initiative, and now offers MathJax to render
mathematics in its online journals. MathJax is an open-source
JavaScript display engine that produces high-quality math in
all modern browsers, without plugins or other special set-up
requirements.
"Both our reader and author communities
will benefit greatly from AIP's use and support of MathJax,"
said AIP Director of Business Development Terry Hulbert. "The
MathJax project is an important step forward, not only in the
clarity with which it displays math, but in the usability and
accessibility of math and online learning. AIP is proud to
support the MathJax project."
"AIP's use and financial support of
MathJax is a huge boost to the project," said Robert Miner,
MathJax Project Director. "This will significantly increase
awareness and hopefully attract more support for MathJax."
MathJax lets users copy equations from
AIP's online journal articles and paste them directly into
Word and LaTeX documents, science blogs, MathType, and
research wikis. Equations can also be copied and pasted into
calculation software like Maple, Mathematica, and others.
MathJax supports the use of STIX fonts (http://www.stixfonts.org),
which will improve MathJax's speed when rendering mathematics.
AIP is seeking feedback from the
scientific community on the utility of MathJax as it continues
to develop the service. To see MathJax in action, visit the
50th Anniversary issue of the Journal of Mathematical Physics
(http://www.jmp.aip.org/resource/1/jmapaq/v51/i).
Every article in the issue is freely available. Select read
online for any article, and once in the HTML view, go to the
navigation bar and turn on MathJax.
About American Institute of Physics
The American Institute of Physics is an
organization of 10 physical science societies, representing
more than 135,000 scientists, engineers, and educators and is
one of the world's largest publishers of scientific
information in physics. AIP pursues innovation in electronic
publishing of scholarly journals and offers full-solution
publishing services for its Member Societies. AIP publishes 13
journals; two magazines, including its flagship publication
Physics Today; and the AIP Conference Proceedings series. AIP
also delivers valuable resources and expertise in education
and student services, science communication, government
relations, career services for science and engineering
professionals, statistical research, industrial outreach, and

About MathJax
MathJax (http://www.mathjax.org/)
was initiated in 2009 by Design Science, the American
Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Society for Industrial and
Applied Mathematics (SIAM) with the aim of developing a
universal, robust, and easy to use solution to display
mathematics on the web, which had been a long-standing
technical challenge. MathJax has since become the new standard
for high-quality display of mathematics on the web. It is
widely used by leading publishers and platforms, with over
half a million page requests a week to the project's content
distribution network servers. The project receives major
financial support from the Stack Exchange, the American
Institute of Physics, American Physical Society, Elsevier, the
Optical Society, Project Euclid, WebAssign, IOP Publishing,
and IEEE.
