>Streamlined Grant Process Gives Algebra Teachers Free Software
>
>Professor Weissman’s Software announces the availability of free copies of its flagship product, Math911, to qualified schools. Math911 is a Windows application that makes it easy for students to master Introductory and Intermediate Algebra, as well as College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus.
>
>With its streamlined grant approval process, Professor Weissman’s Software provides educators in middle schools, high schools, and colleges with immediate, free use of Math911 in their classrooms for the remainder of the 2002-2003 school year. Grants are easy to apply for, and approval notices are sent quickly to qualified applicants.
>
>Math911 contains twenty chapters containing multiple lessons, and a range of difficulty levels. Chapters include Prealgebra, real numbers, linear equations and inequalities, exponents, polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, radicals, linear graphs, systems of equations, conic sections, quadratic equations, complex numbers, absolute equations and inequalities, x word problems, x and y word problems, College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Precalculus.
>
>Since all questions are generated randomly in real-time, students can continue to practice their math skills until they master them. Students can do keyword searches for a topic which is not named in the chapter headings. The program includes grade reports by chapter, by lesson, and by difficulty level, allowing students to track their progress and achievements.
>
>When students provide an incorrect answer, they can see a step by step solution that explains, in non-technical jargon, both the reasoning process and the mechanics of solving the problem. Math911’s built-in calculator makes it easy to perform simple arithmetic, as well as sine, cosine, tangent, roots, powers, and logs.
>
>Math911 can also be used for classes reviewing for SAT, ACT, GED, or CLEP exams, or with students in need of refreshing math skills for a new job. Math911 is so easy to use that it actually makes it fun to master Algebra.
>
>Math911 runs under Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, and costs $29.95 for the student edition, and $69.95 for the school standalone edition, with multi-user and site licenses available.
>
