Microsoft Math 3: Graphing mode

Microsoft Mathematics (formerly Microsoft Math) is a freely downloadable educational program, designed for Microsoft Windows, that allows users to solve math and science problems. Developed and maintained by Microsoft, it is primarily targeted at students as a learning tool.[1]

A related freeware add-in, called Microsoft Mathematics Add-In for Word and OneNote, is also available from Microsoft and offers comparable functionality (Word 2007 or higher is required).[2][3]

Microsoft Math has received 2008 Award of Excellence from Tech & Learning Magazine.[4]

Features

Microsoft Math contains features that are designed to assist in solving mathematics, science, and tech-related problems, as well as to educate the user. The application features such tools as a graphing calculator and a unit converter. It also includes a triangle solver, and an equation solver that provides step-by-step solutions to each problem.

The standalone version of Microsoft Math 3.0 also has support for calculus and Ink Handwriting, allowing the user to write out problems by hand and have them recognized by Microsoft Math.
