Minor Release


Last week I gave a demo of Touch of Math to RCOS in which I showed off the new (and still buggy) features between the last code release and now. I cleaned up the code from the demo and am releasing it as our promised "maintenance" release.

Now that we have gotten going on the project again, we are excited to be working towards the next major release whose proposed features include:

– distinguishing between variables, numbers, and constants
– variables next to each other signify multiplication
– displaying of special characters (e.g. greek letters such as σ or β)
– displaying of subscripts and multi-character variables
– interactive history (i.e. viewing and loading previous states)


We will keep you posted on the progress of this next major version,

Still Alive

Yes, A Touch Of Math is still alive, and we are indeed still developing it. We would like to apologize for the blatant lack of progress since last spring. A Touch Of Math had a longer summer than most, and when you add in our project lead shuffle, we ended up well into Fall.

As we gear things back up, we will be rolling out a maintenance release that ties up all the loose ends from between the last code release and now. This won't have many new features, but it will give us a more up-to-date, stable codebase for us to develop on this semester.

Look out for this update in the near future, we'll post again when its ready,
