The tool is designed to offer users a graphing calculator capable of plotting both in 2D and 3D, but also offering equation solving capabilities along with step-by-step instructions of the process.
In addition, Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 comes packed with a range of additional tools that are bound to come in handy to students dealing with math and science studies.
“Microsoft Mathematics provides a set of mathematical tools that help students get school work done quickly and easily.
“With Microsoft Mathematics, students can learn to solve equations step-by-step while gaining a better understanding of fundamental concepts in pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, and calculus.
“Microsoft Mathematics includes a full-featured graphing calculator that’s designed to work just like a handheld calculator. Additional math tools help you evaluate triangles, convert from one system of units to another, and solve systems of equations,” revealed Microsoft’s Ian Morrish.
As you can see from the screenshot included at the top of this article, Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 also comes with a friendly graphical user interface.
Users familiar with the Office 2007 and Office 2010 productivity suites will immediately recognize the Ribbon / Fluent UI.
