What is LiveMath ? LiveMath Maker is a revolutionary new computer algebra system (CAS) used to create LiveMath "notebooks". These symbolically correct notebooks may be shared with the world via the World-Wide-Web using the free LiveMath Plug-In. The math created is LIVE, not static. Similar to a spreadsheet in the way a change in one value will ripple throughout the calculations, LiveMath allows the user to perform algebraic, numerical, and graphical experimentation with its dynamic recalculation feature. The notebooks do not just "do the math" but can be set up to show the steps and procedures of mathematics. Change one value and the whole notebook updates to reflect the change. Post it to the web and anyone with the free plug-in can interact with the notebook allowing exploration of key mathematical topics.
