MATHOMATIC
ALGEBRAIC EQUATION
PROCESSOR
(IBM only)

If "A = B + C", then what does "B" equal? MATHOMATIC is a super-smart
calculator program that can solve complicated symbolic math equations.
Enter your equation or formula and solve it for any variable, and if you
want to plug in values, simply type the "calculate" command and MATHOMATIC
will ask you for the values of all variables on the right-hand side of the
equation.

MATHOMATIC is an artificially intelligent algebraic manipulator program
which implements most of the rules of algebra for the mathematical operators
+, -, *, /, and power (including roots). Any equation can be automatically
solved for any unknown, except for some polynomials of the third degree (cubic)
and higher. Unlike other equation solvers which approximate a numerical
solution for an unknown by prompting for the values of all the other variables
in an equation, MATHOMATIC actually solves the equation by algebraically
manipulating and simplifying the equation until all of the symbolic solutions
for the unknown are determined.

You can simplify (reduce) equations, differentiate equations, compare
equations, replace variables with any expression, jiggle a variable about
some value to see the sensitivity to that value, etc. In addition,
simultaneous algebraic equations can be easily combined and solved for any
variable. Complex number arithmetic is supported, too.

MATHOMATIC is a fascinating tool. By using MATHOMATIC, you will learn to
convert word problems to algebraic equations and let MATHOMATIC do the rest.
Math enthusiasts will love to watch MATHOMATIC manipulate complicated
equations.

MATHOMATIC includes a tutorial program and a little surprise for anyone
with a color computer: each level of parentheses can be a different color.

Requires 512K of RAM and MS-DOS or PC-DOS 2.0 or higher.
