Microsoft + Homework = Math 3.0
16 Comments
Microsoft on Tuesday introduced a new software solution designed for helping students complete their math homework. Math 3.0 targets middle and high school students, as well as entry-level college students, offering a number of calculators, equation editors and other tools.
Instead of just providing an answer, Microsoft Math steps the student through the process much like a tutor would. Subjects it supports include pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics and chemistry. Those students who can afford Tablet PCs or UMPCs can also write the problem by hand, and Math 3.0 will offer assistance. The product will be available for download this month at a cost of $19.95 USD.
