The Maths Dept is resisting the introduction of Perception for maths
testing, because of the problem of displaying mathematical symbols on the
Web. How do you get around this problem?
At my institution, the Maths dept are not using the Web very much. One or
two have tried GIF images, and I do not know of any plug-ins in use.
I am interested in any answers to Steve's question. Please respond to the
list and not directly to Steve.
(Steve please let me know if you get anything of interest that misses the
list. - Thanks.)
Regards,
Scott
