Abstract
James White is president of Bluejay Lispware which developed and
distributes Mathwright. Mathwright is an authoring program for Windows
that may be used to create Interactive Mathematics and Science Texts.
The "WorkBooks" it creates may be read by students in private study, or
used in various classroom teaching and learning contexts. Mathwright
was developed while Dr White was on the faculty of the Department of
Mathematics at UNC Chapel Hill and part of Institute for Academic
Technology. He has also taught at California State University, Monterey
Bay.
