"The best software tool to assist you with calculus. You can customize
problems to meet with your homework needs and get the answer with the click
of a button. If you're struggling with calculus--this software is a must.
Develops a strong understanding of calculus concepts as opposed to endless
hours spent on computations."

"No doubt this software removes the drudgery of hand calculations,
utilizes the power of the computer, helps to visualize calculus, and most
importantly, helps students learn concepts through experimentation....
"While this software certainly cannot be used while taking the AP
Calculus Exam, it is a wonderful instructional aid and homework helper.
Not all of
the usual Mathematica features are present. But this huge
collection of
calculus-focused text, templates, and solvers can aid both instruction
and
learning. The author has created a truly clever student supplement for
calculus classes. While some may argue dependence on technology, this
software actually helps the user understand necessary solution steps
usually
reserved in the background. We still need students to use a calculator
for
the AP Calculus Exam, but this software is a delightful tool for solving
problems, and learning how to solve problems."

"One can see the appeal for a student in a machine that will do maths
homework automatically, and I suspect that the authors of WIZ have
not a
little subversive intent in exposing the folly of mathematics curricula
where exercises are so routine they can be done automatically without any
human intervention."

"Wolfram Research, developer of Mathematica, has released an
amazing calculus
program called Calculus WIZ that handles formulas in a most
intuitive way, so that
anyone can gain insight from experimenting with the math of
motion." |
