MATH-TEACHER software makes the teaching and learning of mathematics as easy as mathematics can get! Mathematics builds progressively from concept to concept. MATH-TEACHER helps students understand each concept before moving on to the next. Each lesson first presents the concepts and an infinite number of sample problems. The interactive tutorial requires no pencils and paper! No multiple choice or fill in the blank, MATH-TEACHER understands every step of a student's solution! Students type symbolic expressions in a free-style format, MATH-TEACHER analyzes each line and indicates whether it is correct or not. This analysis detects common mistakes and provides focused help. The process repeats until the answer is reached. MATH-TEACHER perceives the proficiency of the student and generates problems accordingly.The interactive tutorial requires no pencils and paper!

The step-by-step answers are complete with explanations, charts, figures, graphs, and tables.
The Calculator provided in MATH-TEACHER is designed to work with algebraic expressions. Rational expressions yield both rational and the approximate real results. Student scores are collected automatically to simplify record keeping.
These unique features make MATH-TEACHER the private tutor of each student!
Program for Generating and Printing tests and the Customization Program.
Problem Generator for Printed Tests
This program is a helpful tool for teachers to prepare off-line tests and homework for their students. The teacher determines the mathematical topic, the number of problems and their difficulty. The program generates automatically a required set of problems based on these criteria. The teacher can browse the list and print it out. A certain option allows the teacher to print out the detailed answers on a separate sheet. The task of checking the students' work is easier!! Alternatively, the teacher can give the answers to the students and ask them to self-check their work.
The same set of problems can serve as a prototype from which several different tests that have the same degree of difficulty can be generated and printed. The problems are not drawn from a static data base, but rather generated at random at run time.
Clearly, this program is not just a mathematical text editor, but rather, a sophisticated tool that can save much effort and hours of work while preparing tests and homework.
The following example shows how to prepare a test in Calculus - Integrals, on "Calculating Area and Volume" topic. The teacher chooses how many problems from each Level (1-3) will be included in the test. In this case, one problem from the first two levels, and two problems from the last level.
Now the teacher can preview the generated test on the screen: Finally, these are the printout of the 4 problems and their answers-The Customization Utility
Unlike the Generator of Printed Test program, this utility is not a stand-alone program; It helps the teacher to adjust the tutorial program to the level of the students and their capability. Examples of parameters are the number of problems that the student is required to solve before proceeding to the next level, and the minimal grade. Other parameters control the difficulty of the on-line test: The number of problems in a test, the composition of the test and the test duration.
