FluidMath is the most popular version of FluidMath. FluidMath is web-based which means it runs in your browser on any device like a Windows tablet, a Chromebook, an iPad or a MacBook. FluidMath also includes features for you to share your FluidMath documents as web-pages, assignments, and collaborative workspaces.
FluidMathClassic is a stand-alone version of FluidMath that runs only on Windows. It is installed as a Windows application. If you only want to use FluidMath for demonstration purposes (in front of the classroom) or if you do not have an internet connection, FluidMath Classic might be right for you.

Yes! Visit the Getting Started page here: Getting Started with FluidMath
Yes! Just click the “Math Type” button in the menu bar. Then, place your mouse or cursor anywhere on the FluidMath page. You will see a little box and a blinking cursor. You can then type math with your keyboard. You can also use the virtual calculator keyboard that is displayed on the bottom of the page.
Just go to the “Insert” menu and select “Graph”. This will place an empty graph on the page. You can then drag and drop your typed math expression into the graph. If you typed a math expression with free variables, like “m” and “b” in “y=mx+b”, you can just click on “m” and click on “b” in the typed math expression and a slider will be displayed.
There are a couple of ways to create sliders. If you are writing on the screen with a stylus or your finger, just write an assignment like “m=1” (any variable = a number) and then draw a straight line down from the equal sign. A slider will replace the assignment on the page. If you have typed your math on the page, just click a variable in the typed math and a slider will be displayed.
Technical Questions
FluidMath runs in the latest versions of all popular browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
FluidMath will run on most modern computers with a modern web-browser. FluidMath runs great on Chromebooks, Windows tablets, laptops and PCs, Apple iPads, and Apple laptops and desktops. You can use FluidMath on touch-screen computers with a stylus or your finger to write math and control the software with gestures. And, you can use FluidMath on a computer without a touch-screen since we have a keyboard interface for entering math notation that is just as effect as writing math on the screen.
Our most popular version of FluidMath is the web-based FluidMath that runs in your browser. This is the “FluidMath” product and you can learn about it here: FluidMath.
There are two additional versions of FluidMath that run natively in Microsoft Windows.
