Developed and maintained byMicrosoft, it is primarily targeted at students as a learning tool. Until 2015, it ran on Microsoft Windows. Since then, it has been developed for theweb platform andmobile devices.
Microsoft Math was originally released as a bundled part ofMicrosoft Student. It was then available as a standalone paid version starting with version 3.0. For version 4.0, it was released as a free downloadable product[4] and was called Microsoft Mathematics 4.0.

Microsoft Math received the 2008 Award of Excellence from Tech & Learning Magazine.[7]
