Wolfram Alpha (Search Engine) Case Studies
http://bit.ly/1eSWLL
Wolfram|Alpha (Search) Case Studies
Wolfram|Alpha bills itself as a "computational knowledge engine," a nerdy and unfortunately not very intuitive description. Because it's hard to grok, most people have categorized Wolfram|Alpha as a new type of search engine.
Wolfram|Alpha is a product that was built on top of founder Stephen Wolfram's Mathematica product, a software tool for mathematicians that was initially released in 1988.

Math Skills and Video Gaming
http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/k12/article1023027.ece
Math Skills and Video Gaming
Teachers rarely tell students to play video games, but video games rarely teach algebra fundamentals.
So 20 students from Walker, Liberty and Ferrell middle schools have spent eight weeks factoring and cross multiplying equations in the program Dimension M.
It's all part of a summer pilot program that combines math skills with video games, culminating in a tournament today that pits gaming teams against each other.

Tired of PowerPoint? The truth is that many of us have seen boring presentations that made us associate this program with long meetings and countless slides.
I can almost hear some of you asking: “Can anything good come from PowerPoint?” But did you know that this software has a lot of powerful features often not utilized by most users? For instance, you can perform the following tasks in PowerPoint .....

Mathcasts : Webinar Archived Online
Mathcasts-Special Guest: Tim Fahlberg
What are mathcasts and how can I use them to support my teaching?
If you teach mathematics to students of any age then listening to and watching this recording of a webinar (May 2009) will be one hour well spent.
A very motivational strategy for students .. having them produce their own Mathcasts.

Using economic simulation games to support maths and ICT
Of all the different types of pure computer and video games, the economic simulation game is still the one most frequently found in schools, and the range of games used within this genre has increased steadily.
In the following examples of economic simulations being employed in an educational context, the games used are standard retail products, and the value they offer to education is not measured in terms of factual information gained but in terms of skills acquired and motivation achieved.

A Taxonomy of Software for Mathematics Instruction
http://www.citejournal.org/articles/v5i2mathematics1.pdf
A Taxonomy of Software for Mathematics Instruction
The potential to use mathematics software to enhance student thinking and development is discussed and a taxonomy of software categories is outlined in this paper.
Briefly, there are five categories of tool-based mathematics software that can be used fruitfully in a mathematics curriculum: (a) review and practice, (b) general, (c) specific, (d) environment, and (e) communication.
A description of the affordances and constraints of the five types of software and how each facilitates different aspects of student learning clarifies the ways in which diverse off-the-shelf offerings can be used to address the goals of mathematics instruction, from building basic skills to exploring mathematical applications in the real world.

TeX
http://www.math.vanderbilt.edu/~schectex/wincd/list_tex.htm
TeX
This page is concerned only with listing and briefly describing free TeX software available for Windows computers.
TeX -- in its various flavors, including LaTeX -- is a typesetting language. It is used to prepare documents -- e.g., to prepare a Ph.D. thesis or other book, or an article that is submitted for publication in a research journal.
If used properly, it produces beautiful documents. Originally it was used only for documents that were printed on paper, but nowadays it is also widely used to produce PDF files that can be viewed on computer screens.
Tex is the standard language used by nearly all mathematicians nowadays. It is also used extensively by scholars and writers in many other fields -- chemistry, linguistics, chess, music -- anything that requires precise spacing and/or unusual fonts and/or the convenience of automatic cross-referencing.

Matrix and Linear Algebra functions for EXCEL

Matrix and Linear Algebra functions for EXCEL
Since birth, Excel appeared as a fantastic tool for studying and developing numeric calculus. Its worksheets, divided into rows and columns, resulted particularly adapted for matrix and linear calculus. From then on, lots and lots of new objects are included into Excel (not all of them very useful, indeed!) but, surprisingly, the matrix functions are substantially the same of many years ago. This little smart addin intends to cover this gap, improving the standard set of the functions for matrix calculus.
