        <p>It is our pleasure to present the proceedings of the 2014 Mathematical User Interfaces international workshop. The workshop aims to gather researchers, developers, and end-users of mathematical software into a discussion around the user-interfaces which allow them to be manipulated. The MathUI workshop series stimulates new perspectives and the exchange of ideas in a semi-formal way: using a formal submission and review system, followed by a round of presentations and discussions, then a fair-like demonstration session. MathUI has been running for ten years alongside the Mathematical Knowledge Management Conference and the Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics. It started in Bialowieza, Poland, in 2004. Since then, it has taken place in: Wokingham (United Kingdom) in 2006, Linz (Austria) in 2007, Birmingham (UK) in 2008, Grand Bend (Canada) in 2009, Paris (France) in 2010, Bremen (Germany) in 2011, and Bath (UK) in 2013. This edition of the workshop is the 9th. The papers from previous workshops can be found at http://cermat.org/events/MathUI. This year, the workshop's contributions have been reviewed by the programme committee team composed of: David Aspinall (Edinburgh, Scotland), Paul Cairns (York, UK), Olga Caprotti (Helsinki, Finland), Andrea Ho kamp (Berlin, Germany), Patrick Ion (Rhode Island, USA), Andrea Kohlhase (Bremen, Germany), Christoph Lange (Bonn, Germany), Paul Libbrecht (Weingarten, Germany), Helena Mihaljevic-Brandt (Berlin, Germany), Elena Smirnova (USA), Marco Pollanen (Trent, Canada), Frederic Wang (Paris, France). We wish address our thanks to the constructive critiques made during the intense review process.</p>

      <p>Formulae Exploration) and Roxanne Leit~ao and Chris Roast (Developing
Visualisations for Spreadsheet Formulae: Towards Increasing the
Accessibility of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Subjects).
Mathematics Education Remains a Focus: this is the focus of the
paper by Paul Libbrecht and Kerstin Schneider (Formula Collection
Mobile Apps Realized by Teachers) and the applications for it are somewhat
discussed in the paper by Roxanne Leit~ao and Chris Roast (Developing
Visualisations for Spreadsheet Formulae: Towards Increasing the
Accessibility of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths Subjects).
Mobile Mathematics: The emerging applications for mathematics on
mobile devices are becoming a more and more important subject covered
in the survey paper by Frederic Wang and Raniere Silva (Firefox OS Web
Apps for Science), in the paper by Marco Pollanen, Je Hooper, Bruce
Cater and Sohee Kang (Towards a Universal Interface for Real-Time
Mathematical Communication), and in the paper by Paul Libbrecht and
Kerstin Schneider (Formula Collection Mobile Apps Realized by Teachers).
Input of Mathematical Formulae: Finally, a topic that used to be at
the forefront of this workshop is concerned with the input of mathematical
formulae. This year it is covered in the paper by Frederic Wang and
Raniere Silva (Firefox OS Web Apps for Science) and by Marco Pollanen,
Je Hooper, Bruce Cater and Sohee Kang (Towards a Universal Interface
for Real-Time Mathematical Communication).</p>
      <p>We wish the reader a pleasant read of these brand new ideas in user interfaces
for mathematical software.</p>
