## About Apache OpenOffice Math
Math is Apache OpenOffice's component for mathematical equations. It is most commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used with other types of documents or stand-alone. When used inside Writer, the equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Similarly, one can also insert these into other Apache OpenOffice programs like Calc and Impress.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Apache OpenOffice Math?**

In cases where I need to insert formulas into texts, I use OpenOffice Math because it is integrated with OpenOffice Writer. The convenient thing is that there is a group of "elements," which are graphics with frequently used mathematical symbols, and this allows for easily inserting elements within elements to obtain the desired formula.

**What do you dislike about Apache OpenOffice Math?**

I would have preferred that this program already had a formula editing part that worked so well within OpenOffice Writer. And here too, the buttons are a bit too small.

**What problems is Apache OpenOffice Math solving and how is that benefiting you?**

On Math, type the formulas so that they have a more readable appearance, and also the fractions become clearer to read.
