Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a system that can embed algebraic manipulations, mathematical formulas and graphs in usual web pages on any web servers by integrating web technologies as a mash-up approach. By introducing Maxima and the web application to Linux, Windows and MacOS, the system can run locally on these OSs. On almost all current web browsers, mash-up is realized by implementing RESTful Web APIs with JSONP, and formulas can be displayed by MathJax, and be edited by adding functions to MathDox, and graphs can be plotted by using Flot.
