The Mathematics Add-In from Microsoft allows you to write, insert, edit, solve and graph mathematical
equations directly in OneNote and Word. It can make writing mathematically intensive papers
significantly easier while supplying professional graphics to assist explanations.

Inserting an equationIn Word, select either the Insert tab or the Mathematics tab and click equation. An equation box should
appear where you can type your equation, with special characters available in the ribbon.
In OneNote, there are a couple different options for inserting equations. The first is to click the
Mathematics tab, click Equation, which will insert an equation box similar to the one produced in Word.
Here you can either type your equation as in word or you can click the Ink Equation button which is
now next to the equation button in the ribbon.
This will open a window that looks like the Tablet Input panel, here you can hand write your equation
and it will be converted to text. Then click Insert to place the equation on your OneNote page.
If you are working with equations that involve complex numbers or working Trigonometric equations
you can set you preferences under the mathematics tab.

ComputingNow that you have an equation, you can compute the solution to it.
1. Highlight your equation2. Click the compute button located to the left under the mathematics tab and to
the right under the design tab. A menu will drop down from which you should select the
appropriate calculation method.
3. The solution will be displayed directly below the equation and can be copiedand pasted anywhere.

Graphing
Equations can also be graphed.
1. The equation must be set equal to a variable; 2D graphs should be equal to y, 3Dgraphs should be equal to z
2. Highlight your equation3. Click the graph button located to the left under the mathematics tab and to the
right under the design tab. A menu will drop down from which you should select
the appropriate graphing method.

4. A window showing the graph of the equation will open. In this window you canmanipulate the graph by clicking and dragging and/or by using the tools on the
left side.
5. Click the insert button to place the graph onto the OneNote page directly underyou equation.
6. To edit the graph, highlight it, click the graph button and click edit graph. Theediting window will reopen with an update button now at the bottom, which will
update the current graph or you can reinsert it if you prefer and it will place a
new graph below the original.
Points of note
When computing an equation, if you put a variable equal to the formula you will get
an exact answer out (no decimals). In order to have a decimal answer remove the variable
and click compute under the compute menu.
Once a graph has been inserted onto a page it can no longer be edited. If you want to
change it you have to re-graph the equation and edit it in the graph window and then re-
insert it.
