"Many powerful commands of Mathematica were included in
Mathematical Explorer, and it was
therefore more powerful than the TI-89 or TI-92 calculator....
"I highly recommend Mathematical Explorer
for students who are taking advanced high school
mathematics courses and for any teacher who wants to bring more depth to his
or her classroom demonstrations. Visit
www.wolfram.com/products/explorer to
learn more about this wonderful piece of software."
John Wilkins,
Mathematics Teacher
"This package is amazing, both in ease of use as well as capability....
"Even though I have spent hours and hours working with this package, doing
many different things and enjoying myself immensely, I really did not
explore the full capability of what it can do. Quite frankly, that could
take months to years. However, getting started is easy, which makes it ideal
for mathematics labs. It is a great learning tool."
Charles Ashbacher,
Mathematics and Computer Education
"There is something here for everybody with an interest in maths and its
history. Teachers of maths subjects, anxious to introduce novelty, culture
and history into courses, will get inspiration here. Engineers and
scientists who are not mathematicians but enjoy mulling over famous
mathematical problems and trying their hand at some of the unsolved ones
may possibly find unforeseen applications for the new ideas presented. And
students wishing to broaden and deepen their appreciation of the subject
beyond the limits imposed by curricula, lectures and examinations will be
entertained, challenged and informed."
Brian Cogan,
Scientific Computing World
"Mathematical Explorer... is for anyone interested in
mathematical fun and exploration. The program is full of fascinating problems
from the history of mathematics....
"The software is good at illustrating interesting problems from
everyday life....The heavy emphasis on graphics as a teaching tool works well for
those who 'think visually.'...
"...Mathematical Explorer is an outstanding way to learn more about mathematics."
John Wass, Science
"From the use of chaotic dynamics to create startling graphics, to the
error-correcting tricks FedEx uses to encode tracking numbers, this
educational CD-ROM has it all....
"Anyone who's bought and enjoyed a copy of Scientific American is
likely to
spend hours fascinated by Mathematical Explorer....you'll have equal access
to numerical party tricks and the latest research developments."
Charles Seiter, Macworld
"The visual design is excellent. Mathematical Explorer gives an
exciting
look at the material with a good balance between detail and comprehension.
It even includes several currently unsolved problems for which cash prizes
have been offered. Everyone from high school students to professional
mathematicians--really, anyone with a curiosity about math and its
applications--will find something in it of interest."
Scott Kim, puzzle master and columnist for Discover magazine
"...an excellent way to teach."
Bob Schwabach,
