Mathomatic 14.4.5
Portable, general purpose CAS (Computer Algebra System) written entirely in the C programming language more>> Portable, general purpose CAS (Computer Algebra System) written entirely in the C programming language
Mathomatic is a free software, published under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL version 2.1). This is a console mode application that does quick calculations and symbolic math.
Mathomatic is designed to be as general and easy to use as possible, and as such, has no programming capability.
Mathomatic implements most of the rules of algebra for subtraction (-), addition ( ), modulo division (%), multiplication (*), division (/), and all forms of exponentiation (^). All arithmetic is double precision floating point with up to 14 decimal digit
Mathomatic compiles and runs under any operating system with a C compiler, especially GNU/Linux. There are no dependencies other than the standard C libraries.
Mathomatic has been under development since 1986 and now stands at 16,000 lines of code (including comments).
Main features:
- combine and solve algebraic equations,
- completely simplify, expand, and compare expressions,
- do calculus transformations (derivative, polynomial integral and Laplace, extrema, and Taylor series),
- help with series analysis (sum and product),
- do standard, complex number, and polynomial arithmetic,
- generate efficient C, Java, and Python code from equations,
- and perform quick calculations, all in color, for easier reading.
Enhancements
- "primes/mult" improved and renamed to "primes/matho-mult", so you can install as a unique program, if you wish. "primorial 1" works now, too. Roots command enabled in the symbolic math library.
- Fixed factor command parameter handling and results, it was not user friendly. Also fixed factor command for consistent behavior in the symbolic math library.
- Allow separate install of Mathomatic binaries and documentation in makefile.

aTypeTrainer4Mac 2.1
Advanced multilingual typing tutor more>>
A multilingual typing tutor for Mac OS X. It is an advanced version of TypeTrainer4Mac. All of the system keyboard layouts (but not input methods!) as well as a wide variety of non-system keyboard layouts (i.e. Dvorak, Colemak or custom layouts being built using Ukelele) are completely or partially supported.
You have to type a mixed-string of random characters. You can customize a character set at each of the 30 levels, and thus, you can control the learning process. You can also import texts from TextEdit, from Mail or from your web browser. Each session provides two run logs, one in RTFD format and one in HTML format. The RTFD log is generated at the end of each session and suitable for printing as well as close inspection. The HTML log is generated at the start of each session and actualized every second. Therefore, it is suitable for following the typing process. Thus, teachers get an actual oversight of the typing protocol of all pupils/students of their class at any given moment of time. In the Preferences, you can adjust a host of settings in order to make your typing exercises to your liking.

Thanks to the great technology of Cocoa core data this application offers to kind of format:
Binary format
Creates a regular data file with the extension: "tri". Use this format for regular use, while its the fastest.

Italian Verbs 1.2.8
Italian Verbs is regarded as a reliable and useful freeware dictionary module for use with the shareware programs: Verbs & Nouns or Verbs & Nouns Lookup. more>>
Italian Verbs 1.2.8 is regarded as a reliable and useful freeware dictionary module for use with the shareware programs: 'Verbs & Nouns' or 'Verbs & Nouns Lookup'.
The module is for practicing the forms of verbs. Students often lack confidence about using verbs in Italian because each verb has so many forms. With a bit of practice forms such as 'possa' and 'faremmo' and 'si fossero alzati' become familiar and you feel comfortable about using them. 'Italian Verbs' lets you practice these forms at your own pace. It contains about 660 regular verbs and about 380 irregular (in 15 tenses and moods), with English translations. You can choose the verb or group of verbs that you want to practice, and the tense that you want to practice. You can use it for translation exercises (English-Italian and Italian-English), and as a mini-dictionary.
Supplementary information is provided for some entries, and you can add your own notes, for instance useful phrases. You can edit or delete existing entries, or add extra verbs. A built-in 'verb-generator' supplies the correct forms for extra verbs if you provide a minimum of information. You can record sound, and you can do exercises based on sound, for instance type-what-you-hear (recordings are not provided; you have to record the sound yourself).
Requirements: System 7.0 - Mac OS 9.2.2'Verbs & Nouns'
Math Practice 3.1.0
Math Practice - basic math facts practice more>>
We wrote this facts review program to eliminate some problems associated with paper work sheets. There is no copy machine, no hand correcting, and for students that have trouble with the pressure of timed tests, most of these puzzles allow them to practice independently with a timer. Best of all, these activities are perhaps a bit more fun than regular paper worksheets.
And what could be more fun that running an Aqua-style interface on a non-OSX PPC or Windows machine? Need to run your iMac lab under OS9 with only 256 colors? Hey, us, too. Specially optimized graphics insure that Aqua-style color gradients look good even at 256 colors.
Although many of the games in this application were designed with 8-10 year olds as the target audience, most ages from 7 and up will find suitable activities.
Main features:
This application contains several different math fact exercises.
- 1. Facts against a timer
- 2. Multiplication facts review
- 3. Division facts review
- 4. Addition facts review
- 5. Subtraction facts review
- 6. Number Sentence: 2 difficulty levels with timed Halls of Fame.
