Please use the tracking system to report bugs and make feature requests, or mail me at jrheinlaender a.t. In this case the required version of libginac6 will be installed as well. Note that if your system does not have libginac6 with a minimum version of 1.7.8, you must install from the PPA. These workarounds result in a much slower performance of iMath on Windows as compared to Linux.

If you have the option, I would highly recommend to use iMath on Linux, since the Windows platform requires a number of workarounds for specific Windows instabilities. Please see the wiki documentation for details on known working configurations of iMath, LibreOffice and Windows. Windows users might need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (search for 'vcredist' on the Microsoft website).

How to use iMath is described in the iMath wiki and illustrated by examples in iMath-tour.odt,which you can find in the subdirectory matching your iMath version. Both projects appear to be unmaintained, though. See also the CompPad project which has a similar goal, and CmathOOoCAS which adds symbolic capabilities to calc. iMath is meant to integrate this process in a single Writer document. I would first begin writing out the problem on paper, putting together the necessary equations, and then turn to a spreadsheet to do the actual calculations. The development of iMath was prompted by a problem which I often encountered doing calculations in my profession as a mechanical engineer. The iMath extension for intelligent formulas enables numeric and symbolic calculations inside a Writer document.
