Giving Students Serious Help With Science

Interesting NY Times article

Partial cut

First, some words about what Studyworks Science is not. It's not one of those "edutainment" programs starring a cartoon rodent in a superhero costume who demonstrates 101 experiments that can be done with stuff from the pantry or illustrates the first law of thermodynamics by hotfooting his neighbor.

No, Studyworks Science is serious software, designed to help high school and college students. It combines the power of a scientific calculator with the advantages of a computer, offering an unusual word-and-math processor, a resource library and Web and newsgroup links on physics, chemistry, earth science, statistics and biology. (The latest version of the program also treats astronomy as a separate subject.)

Just as math lies at the heart of much of science, so too is it the soul of this program. That's not so surprising: Mathsoft, the developer, is the company behind Mathcad, a program used by engineers and others who crunch numbers for a living. And Studyworks Science is itself a companion of Studyworks Math, designed to help with everything from algebra to calculus.
