3126.1Another cry for infoSYSTEM::HELLIARG.Helliar @REO-D1-377, 830-3173Wed Nov 29 1989 05:342
 OK I'll broaden the scope. DOes any one know of any Maths tutorial packages.
 he type of things covered are such as basic calculus, trig., SHM, forces etc.
3126.2only slightly better than no infoLEDS::ACCIARDIWed Nov 29 1989 11:327
    
    Progressive Peripherals & Software advertises a package called
    'Mathamagic' (or some such) that appeared to be an educational/tutorial
    type of package.  Not sure what it covers, but it might be worth
    investigating.

3126.3TrueBasic PackagesTLE::RMEYERSRandy MeyersWed Nov 29 1989 16:048
Re: .1

TrueBasic has optional Calculus, Statistics, etc packages.  I've never
been sure if they were packages or useful programs, teaching programs,
drill programs, or example programs for some textbook.  These packages
show up in listings of "educational software" occasionally.

Does anyone know what they really are?
3126.4Not muchPNO::SANDERSBIn the concrete desert of PhoenixThu Nov 30 1989 17:4217
        The TrueBasic packages are nothing more than software that gives
        you the ability to input an equation and it prints and sometimes
        plots the results on the screen.  Some of them include source
        code and examples.
        
        It is a shame they don't do more, considering the price and the
        authors.  They won't teach you much of anything.
        
        I can't help the Amiga folks here, but for the Atari ST there is
        a program called El Cal that does a tremdous amount - allows
        equations to be entered, linear equation systems, matrix and
        vector operations, statistical distribution and does plots and
        curve fitting.  No calculas.  It is from Debonair Software and
        sells for $44.
