Mathematica Teacher's Edition
August 26, 2002--Wolfram Research, Inc. is pleased to announce the release
of the all new Mathematica Teacher's Edition. Designed exclusively
for secondary-level math teachers, this software product combines powerful
computation, time-saving tools, and ready-to-use courseware with an
intuitive user interface. Mathematica Teacher's Edition allows
teachers to focus on the important aspects of teaching instead of on
mundane, routine tasks.
Mathematica Teacher's Edition provides a wealth of tools to help
teachers put their students on the fast track to learning. The unique
point-and-click problem generator enables math educators to quickly and
easily generate original assignments, quizzes, and answer keys. Instead
of pulling predefined problems out of a database, Mathematica Teacher's
Edition creates them on the fly--so teachers can compile new
assignments each time, or even make them unique for each student.
The underlying Mathematica computational engine in Mathematica
Teacher's Edition easily tackles everything from simple calculator
problems to
advanced symbolic manipulations, while the complete presentation
environment helps teachers create their own classroom demonstrations and
handouts. Mathematica Teacher's Edition also comes with built-in
courseware and classroom demos, ranging from prealgebra to calculus, to
enhance students' understanding and visualization capabilities. Teachers
can use these resources directly or customize them for their particular
curriculum.
Mathematica Teacher's Edition is the ideal tool to help teachers
succeed in the classroom and bring mathematics alive for their students. With
Mathematica Teacher's Edition, teachers can:
- Build customized assignments and quizzes in four easy steps
- Automatically generate answer keys and verify solutions
- Perform symbolic and numerical calculations in basic math, algebra,
trigonometry, and calculus
- Create classroom demos featuring live 2D and 3D graphics, animations,
and sounds--all designed to help augment students' intuition and
interest
- Produce handouts with a full technical word-processing environment,
including spell checking and mathematical typesetting
- Show students multiple problem-solving approaches to any given
problem
Mathematica Teacher's Edition works seamlessly with
Mathematica for the Classroom to
give students a head start by exposing them to the computing
tools and methods they will use throughout their academic and professional
careers. Like all Wolfram Research products, Mathematica Teacher's
Edition
supports the platform-independent notebook (.nb) format. You can easily
send notebooks by email or save them as HTML and post them on the
web--making them a convenient way to share reports and documents between
students and teachers.
Mathematica Teacher's Edition is available for Windows
95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP and Mac OS platforms.
