WIRIS is a company, legally registered as Maths for More, providing a set of proprietary HTML-based JavaScript tools which can author and edit mathematical formulas, [1] execute mathematical problems [2] and show mathematical graphics on the Cartesian coordinate system.

WIRIS equation editor [3] is a native browser application, with a light server-side, that supports both MathML and LaTeX. Since 2017, after buying Design Science, a US-based a developer of MathType desktop software, WIRIS rebranded their web equation editor as MathType by WIRIS. [4]

WIRIS is based in Barcelona, Spain and was founded by teachers and former students from the Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona Tech) coordinated by Professor Sebastià Xambó. [5]

Vladimir Igorevich Arnold was a Soviet and Russian mathematician. While he is known for the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser theorem regarding the stability of integrable systems, he contributed to several areas, including geometrical theory of dynamical systems theory, algebra, catastrophe theory, topology, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, symplectic topology, differential equations, classical mechanics, differential geometric approach to hydrodynamics, geometric analysis and singularity theory, including posing the ADE classification problem, since his first main result—the solution of Hilbert's thirteenth problem in 1957 at the age of 19. He co-founded two new branches of mathematics—KAM theory, and topological Galois theory.

In mathematics, the uniformization theorem says that every simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to one of three Riemann surfaces: the open unit disk, the complex plane, or the Riemann sphere. The theorem is a generalization of the Riemann mapping theorem from simply connected open subsets of the plane to arbitrary simply connected Riemann surfaces.
