Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically building up an equation entered into a computer system can include an input module that accepts input of the equation in a linear string format, and an interpret module that interprets the input and automatically determines when a buildup point is reached. Systems can further include a formatting module that, upon reaching the buildup point, automatically formats at least a portion of the equation into a two-dimensional format. A display module can display the portion of the equation in the two-dimensional format. A revision module allows the equation to be edited.
