How to Use This Website:

Unicode and Mathematics

For a variety of reasons we chose to use Unicode to display the majority of the mathematical symbols used here. Most modern browsers with large enough fonts installed are able to render those symbols.

If your browser has trouble displaying the following symbols you should download and install the font Code2000 and the best browser there currently is: Firefox. (Both are free and available for many platforms.)

Test symbols: ≤, ⇒, ∈, →, 𝒫
What you should see:

On every page using unicode symbols there is also a pdf link in the top right corner. From there you can download a pdf file of that page, which will show all symbols precisely as they should be.

How can I read those pdf files you guys keep talking about?

To read pdf files download the free Adobe^® Acrobat Reader.

At the moment there are no plans of porting AWB to any platform other than Windows. However, should you be interested in porting it, contact Markus Sprenger.
