Math 3.0

A recent survey commissioned by Microsoft has found that only 36 percent of parents actually feel that they can provide assistance to their children when the topics covered consist of math or science. Of course, Microsoft didn't just randomly choose to perform this study: the results are being used to support the company's new Math 3.0 software.Math 3.0 is not intended to replace teachers, books, and classrooms; rather, it is to be used as a supplement to the learning process. Topics that the US$19.99 desktop application covers include pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics, and chemistry.A full-featured Graphing Calculator with extensive graphing and equation-solving capabilities expands students' understanding of complex mathematics.Using step-by-step math solutions, students are guided through problems in subjects ranging from pre-algebra to calculus, helping them solve equations more efficiently.The Formulas and Equations Library contains more than 100 common math equations and formulas that enable students to identify and easily apply the right equation to solve math and science problems. The Triangle Solver explores triangles and teaches students the relationship between different components used to calculate sides, angles and values and solve formulas.The Unit Conversion Tool allows students to quickly and easily convert units of measure, including length, area, volume, weight, temperature, pressure, energy, power, velocity and time. The new Ink Handwriting Support works with Tablet and Ultra-Mobile PCs, allowing students to write out a problem by hand and acquire assistance from Microsoft Math.
