  • EngineeringPaper.xyz

    EngineeringPaper.xyz is a web app that makes it easy to create, save, and share engineering calculations.

  • Extensive testing has been done to ensure that your existing sheets will still work without needing any updates. If you do run into issues with your existing sheets, this is a bug and should be reported to [support@engineeringpaper.xyz](mailto:support@engineeringpaper.xyz), submitted as an issue on the GitHub issues page, or reported as a post to this subreddit. In the case that you are having a issue opening an existing sheet or working with the math editor, the previous version of EngineeringPaper.xyz will remain available at classic.engineeringpaper.xyz. Keep in mind that sheets created in this and later versions of EngineeringPaper.xyz will not open in classic.engineeringpaper.xyz

  • mathlive

    A web component for easy math input

  • Up until this time, EngineeringPaper.xyz has been using the MathQuill math editor component. This editor worked well but is no longer being actively developed and has some limitations that have limited what features can be implemented in EngineeringPaper.xyz. Specifically, MathQuill does not support vectors and matrices. To enable the future advancement of EngineeringPaper.xyz, the math editor has been updated to use the MathLive math editing component. MathLive is under active development and supports many advanced math constructs, such as vectors and matrices. You will notice differences in how the equations look in your existing sheets. In general, MathLive uses a more modern font set and renders equations more clearly. We have aimed to keep the editing experience as close to the same as possible. One change is the shortcut for the square root symbol. Simply type "sqrt(" to create the square root symbol. Alternatively, you can use the onscreen keyboard to insert a square root symbol.
