== History == WIRIS originated in 1999 as a university project at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), created by a group of mathematics students and a professor. The company was subsequently established under the name Maths for More and focused on web-based mathematics software. In 2002, WIRIS released WIRIS CAS (currently named CalcMe), a browser-based computer algebra system. In 2007, the company launched WIRIS Editor, a WYSIWYG math editor supporting MathML and LaTeX, initially distributed for the Moodle platform. In 2009, WIRIS introduced WIRIS Quizzes, an online assessment tool for creating and automatically grading mathematics and science exercises. In 2015, handwriting recognition for mathematical and chemical notation was added to the WIRIS editing tools. In 2017, WIRIS acquired Design Science, Inc., the original developers of MathType, expanding its presence in scientific publishing and desktop-office environments. From 2018 onward, the company released cloud-based versions of MathType and expanded support for learning management systems platforms and Google Workspace. In 2023, WIRIS launched LearningLemur, a math practice tool integrated with Google Classroom.
