Publishers Description:
Math software for students studying precalculus. Can be enteresting for teachers teaching precalculus. Math Center Level 1 consists of Graphing calculator 2D, Advanced Calculator, and Simple Calculator called from the Control Panel.
Simple calculator is a general purpose calculator which combines use simplicity and calculation power. It handles simple arithmetic operations and complex formulas.
Advanced Calculator is a step farther in complexity comparing to the Simple Calculator. The Advanced Calculator has two editing windows. One is for editing x, and the second is for editing f(x). In the x window you can enter any number or formula which contains numbers. In the f(x) window you can enter formulas containing numbers and formulas containing x. First, x will be calculated. Then the result for x will be substituted into the formula for f(x). The presence of two editing windows demands switching between windows. You can do it by clicking buttons "go to x" and "go to f(x)", or by clicking inside the window. If you forget to enter x, then the x=1 will be assumed. If you forget to enter f(x), then f(x)=x will be assumed.
Advanced Calculator works in scientific mode. All numbers in internal calculations are treated in scientific format, like 1.23456789012345E+2 for 123.456789012345
Graphing Calculator 2D has two panels.
The Left Panel has the Magnifying Square represented by Small Square with gray border on the Left Panel. It is 16 times smaller than the Left Panel. The Right Panel shows content of the Magnifying Square magnified 16 times. You can press button "zoom +". Then the Left and Right Panels will be zoomed twice each. Maximum zoom is 8 (tree clicks of "zoom +"). After that you can click "zoom -". Clicking button "C" (for Center) on Zoom returns picture to starting position with no zoom and Magnifying Square at the center of Left Panel.
