Abstract
In this work we address the question of how to organize pen-based interfaces for mathematical software systems. We describe our approach to such interfaces both for mathematical packages and document processing software. Our architecture includes components for ink collection, mathematicallyoriented recognizers, portability support and interfaces to applications. We summarize aspects of mathematical handwriting recognition and discuss the methods we have used for individual character recognition and overall expression analysis. We present our pen-based computing environment Mathink and give an overview of facilities for training, ink annotation, and testing. 1
