MacKichan Software, Inc. (pronounced "ma·KEE·kun") is a small software development company with a tradition of fine products for scientific publishing.
In 1981, we incorporated in New Mexico as Triad Computing, Inc. We released the T3 word processor, a landmark DOS product, in 1984. The company was renamed a year later as TCI Software Research, Inc. In 1988 we began working to develop a scientific word processor that incorporates the beautiful typesetting produced by LaTeX with the ease of entering mathematics using natural mathematical notation. We announced Scientific Word in 1992.
In 1993, we retained our name but sold the company to Brooks/Cole Publishing, a division of International Thomson Publishing. In 1994, we announced Scientific WorkPlace, which combines the capabilities of Scientific Word with built-in computational capability. 1996 saw the unveiling of Scientific Notebook, which provides computational capability within attractive documents for users who don't need typesetting capability.
In 1998, Triad Computing co-founder Barry MacKichan and Lynda MacKichan repurchased the assets and renamed the company as MacKichan Software, Inc. We now have offices in Poulsbo, Washington, and in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Throughout our 24-year history, we've worked hard to upgrade our products, releasing new versions regularly. Our latest version adds 2D and 3D plot animation in Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Notebook, and enhances your collaborative ability with the addition of a new LaTeX import filter and support for pdfTeX in Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Word. RTF and HTML exports are supported in all our word processing programs.
Our employees are our most valuable asset. They believe deeply in the value of our products and enjoy working in an atmosphere that encourages creativity and innovation. Many are mathematicians themselves; they understand how to develop products that are useful in a scientific environment. Some of our employees have been involved with the company from the beginning. Their experience provides continuity and support for our large and international customer following.
We're MacKichan Software, Inc.—developing new tools for scientific
creativity since 1981.
