Microsoft Math was originally released as a bundled part of Microsoft 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. It is no longer in active development and has been removed from the Microsoft website.[5] A related freeware add-in, called "Microsoft Mathematics Add-In for Word and OneNote," is also available from Microsoft and offers comparable functionality (Word 2007 or higher is required).[3][6]

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