XMath – PowerPoint Add-ins

Download XMath.

XMath is created to ease the job of creating Math-related PowerPoint. I am a secondary school teacher in Malaysia, teaching Form 4 and Form 5 Mathematics. Creating PowerPoint take me lot of time, so I decided to create XMath to simplify the works.

XMath is updated almost every month so that to fix the bugs and also increase more new features.
