A web-based math entry system
Conclusions
After experimenting for a few hours with MathLex, I think Barry has succeeded in making it easier to enter complex formulas into digital form. I recommend this utility to anyone who deals with math formulas.
If you are looking to improve your JavaScript skills, you can help update MathLex. Many web developers today prefer to use libraries other than jQuery. Barry has mentioned that "it would be very nice to bring [MathLex] up to speed with modern JS development (TypeScript, maybe?)" [5].
