      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Installing Mozilla on a Macintosh

Module by: Brent Hendricks

Summary: This module explains the steps for installing Mozilla and the necessary math fonts on a Macintosh computer

Downloading and Installing Mozilla

warning:

Due to a bug, mozilla versions as of 1.3 do not display MathML correctly on the Macintosh. We recommend using Mozilla 1.2.1 for the Macintosh.
  1. Download Mozilla for your platform.
  2. When prompted, save this file to your desktop.
  3. Double-click on the file to run the installer.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Mozilla.

Installing MathML fonts

Follow the directions for installing MathML fonts for Macintosh found here.

Test The Installation

Mozilla should now be able to browse and render MathML. As a test, go to http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/start.xhtml and verify that the mathematical equations look correct. If you have any difficulties, please contact us.
