14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 has been available for download since January 2011, and the free tool from the Redmond company managed to attract quite a lot of interest from users. Students that want a bit of help with their work, and teachers that could always use more technology in the classroom can grab Mathematics 4.0 directly from the software giant.
The first video embedded below is an excerpt of the “Office Casual Goes to College” video, which users will also be able to watch at the bottom of this article.
The “What Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 can do for students” demo is designed to highlight some of the functionality that is packed inside the tool.
I have little doubt that once students and teachers download, install and start using Microsoft Mathematics 4.0, they’ll be able to find the additional capabilities at their disposal.
Microsoft’s Doug Thomas describes Mathematics 4.0 as “a free graphing calculator students and teachers can use for calculus, chemistry, algebra, and a number of other subjects.”
Here is the official description that the Redmond company uses for the tool: “From basic math to pre-calculus, Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 helps you visualize and see mathematical concepts as you’ve never seen them before.
“With the Mathematics 4.0 free download, you get a full-featured graphing calculator with a formulas and equations library, a triangle solver, a unit conversion tool, ink handwriting support, and more.”
Microsoft has set up an official web page for Mathematics 4.0 where it shares not only the tool, but also a variety of resources.
Users can download the Mathematics 4.0 getting started guide, the Mathematics 4.0 poster, the Mathematics 4.0 datasheet, and the Step-by-step guide for Mathematics 4.0.
All the resources mentioned above, along with the Mathematics 4.0 graphing calculator can be accessed and used free of charge by users.
