The Mathematical Suite for Moodle is a collection of tools to support online mathematical learning. It includes MathEditor for editing mathematical expressions graphically or through LaTeX. It supports matrices, colors, and works across devices. The suite also allows for mathematical interpretation of questions and integration with Sage. Additionally, it incorporates WMath, which stores mathematical expressions in XML format and can render them in different formats or convert them to databases. The suite provides authoring tools and integrates with Wolfram Alpha for plotting and equation solving capabilities.
