Many of the fundamental laws of physics, chemistry, biology, and economics can be formulated as differential equations. This plain-English guide explores the many applications of this mathematical tool and shows how differential equations can help us understand the world around us. Differential Equations For Dummies is the perfect companion for a college differential equations course and is an ideal supplemental resource for other calculus classes as well as science and engineering courses. It offers step-by-step techniques, practical tips, numerous exercises, and clear, concise examples to help readers improve their differential equation-solving skills and boost their test scores.

The program is a virtual chemical laboratory with a lot of opportunities. Virtual Chemistry Lab is a useful tool for teachers, students and all those who are just interested in chemistry.

There is a so-called desktop and two "shelves" - for tools and chemicals. To hold the experience, you should put on the table the necessary tools and put them in chemicals. The program has a database of reactions and can visually show the majority of them. The way in which this program are experiments that closely resembles the real work of the laboratory. The program is "assistant" to notify about all changes in the program.

Virtual Chemistry Lab has a number of additional tools, including the periodic table of elements, solubility table, table oxidation reactions and even a glossary, editor of equations and conversion units. The program also provides self, there is a scientific calculator and the ability to perform laboratory work.

Microsoft Math 2007 New software helps students efficiently complete assignments while garnering the knowledge to succeed in the most difficult of school subjects. Today Microsoft releases Microsoft Math 3.0, a new software solution designed to help students complete their math and science homework more quickly and easily while teaching important fundamental concepts. Microsoft Math 3.0 features an extensive collection of capabilities to help students tackle complicated problems in pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics and chemistry, and puts them all in one convenient place on the home PC. Similar to a hired tutor, Microsoft Math 3.0 is designed to help deepen students’ overall understanding of these subjects by invoking a full-featured graphing calculator and step-by-step instructions on how to solve difficult problems.

Microsoft Math offers a variety of tools that address a wide range of tasks in math and science:
* A full-featured Graphing Calculator with extensive graphing and equation-solving capabilities expands students’ understanding of complex mathematics. * Using step-by-step math solutions, students are guided through problems in subjects ranging from pre-algebra to calculus, helping them solve equations more efficiently.
* The Formulas and Equations Library contains more than 100 common math equations and formulas that enable students to identify and easily apply the right equation to solve math and science problems.
* The Triangle Solver explores triangles and teaches students the relationship between different components used to calculate sides, angles and values and solve formulas.
* The Unit Conversion Tool allows students to quickly and easily convert units of measure, including length, area, volume, weight, temperature, pressure, energy, power, velocity and time.
* The new Ink Handwriting Support works with Tablet and Ultra-Mobile PCs, allowing students to write out a problem by hand and acquire assistance from Microsoft Math. Microsoft Math is scheduled to be available for download in early May 2007 for an estimated retail price of $19.95(U.S.).

Math Composer™
The Math Composer software is a powerful yet easy to use tool for creating all your math documents. It is a simple way for math teachers and instructors to create math worksheets, tests, quizzes, and exams. This math software is perfectly suited for use in a wide range of subjects including arithmetic, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics and chemistry.

Create any Diagram or Figure
Math Composer doesn't use pre-made graphics like "test bank" software. Everything is created within Math Composer and is fully editable. Math Composer is not just a drawing program either. All figures and diagrams are built using "snap-together" elements that adhere to certain rules. This keeps the construction process simple while still allowing you the freedom to create what ever you desire.

Edit Equations and Text
Math Composer contains a full-featured text and equation editor. Quickly write text and equations together without the need to switch back and forth between programs.

Create Grids and Graphs
Create any style of coordinate grid. Easily graph any equation just like on a graphing calculator.

Microsoft Math full-featured graphing calculator with 3-D technology helps students visualize and graph
math and science equations.

Features & Benefits

Get help with math and science homework. With Microsoft Math, 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 Math provides a set of mathematical tools that helps students get school work done quickly and easily. With a full-featured graphing calculator that’s designed to work just like a handheld calculator, Microsoft Math offers a wide range of additional tools to help students with complex mathematics.

You can perform virtual chemical reactions and see what the results would be.
Virtual Chemistry Lab application was designed to help students in their first year of studying Chemistry and their teachers, as well.

Reactions are performed in several easy steps: the user picks a container and puts it on the virtual worktable and then adds two substances into the container. The assistant will announce the result – whether the reaction went normally or there was some kind of a problem. A problem can often arise, for example, if both substances are metals or a burner is required for the reaction and none has been put on the worktable or there is no information about the reaction in the database.

If there are no problems, the user can see the change and the result of the reaction in the container. The field under the assistant shows an equation of the reaction and sometimes a small animation showing how the atoms are grouped together. There is no limit to the number of containers that can be put on the worktable or the reactions to be performed. When the user has finished with the lab experiments, he can clean the worktable and start anew.

The program has a way to modify the information about elements and reactions and so enrich the database. The login in the administrative panel requires an example password to protect students from accidentally deleting parts of the database in schools. On the first run of the program, a teacher can change the example password as it is initially recorded in the help file.
