So I’m hunting for an equation editor that supports drag and drop and will let me “move a variable from one side of the the equation to the other while obeying all applicable rules”. I also want to start with a bunch of equations and have it substitute. Such a beast has to exist by now.
W3C MathML implementations page
That’s a nice list. Most of them support something called MathML. That’s a file format to describe math equations. The format is an open standard that is gaining support from a lot of different software vendors).
I couldn’t see any that talked about moving variables around or working with multiple equations.

x = y + z
r = s + x
I want it to let me drag y+z on top of the x on the 2nd line and have it rewrite it:
r = s + y + z
and then let me drag s to the left side and rewrite it like so:
s = r - y - z
Things like that… Anyone know what I mean? Would that speed up “research” if the software was advanced enough? Saving the time of working things out in paper or in your head where errors can happen?
