Helsingin Yliopisto

UH.gif The Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Helsinki has, since 1985, been actively involved in developing protocols and software for the electronic representation of mathematics. It coordinated the European Union project HCM network Editing and Computing (1995--1996). The aim of this project was to develop a character based communication protocol for mathematics. This project marked the starting point of a large scale international development work that has produced MathML and OpenMath protocols making it thus possible to represent mathematical information in a meaningful way on the web. The University of Helsinki was a contractor in the EUREA project and is the coordinator of the WebALT project (EDC-22253-WEBALT), Web Advanced Learning Technologies. Both projects are part of the eContent program of the European Commission for promoting digital content on the global networks. Through its collaboration with Florida State University, it has developed a substantial body of material for teaching undergraduate calculus.
