TeX

The description of mathematical contents within the records of MATH database requires the use of a formatting language which is capable of presenting special characters, formulae and formatting instructions. The most widely used and best known language for these purposes is TeX. Therefore TeX is used in the encoding of the data for MATH. However, a TeX-implementation on your computer is not a necessary condition for MATH Database to run.
But if high output quality is asked for, if it is desired to get output in a form similar to the printed version of Zentralblatt für Mathematik, then viewers for DVI, PostScript or PDF should be available on your system.
