Algebrator Software Review and Giveaway

As most of you know, we homeschool.  I have one child left at home.  She is 15 and a 9th grader this year.  We have struggled with math all throughout her schooling.
To my surprise, when I mentioned Algebrator to her, she actually got excited about it.  At first not so, until I told her that she can put in the problem and Algebrator will show her step-by-step how to solve the problem.
At that point she couldn't wait to  give it a try.  She said, "Yes! Maybe with this I will actually start to understand what I am doing."  She even went online and texted friends to tell them she was getting it.  She's told all the family too.

SOFTMATH develops Algebrator, the leading math software program available to students, parents, teachers and educational institutions today.
Algebrator is one of the most powerful software programs for math education ever developed. It will tackle the most frustrating math problems you throw at it. Algebrator can show every step to every answer, serving as an automated tutor for math students at every level.

Students use Algebrator to supplement in-classroom learning, as well as to assist them with quickly and accurately completing their math assignments.

Teachers will enjoy Algebrator as an assistant for rapidly creating lessons and sample problems/solutions, and also appreciate Algebrator's ability to function as a supplemental, automated teaching assistant for students.

Homeschoolers and parents who want their children to excel in math use Algebrator as both a refresher for themselves and an affordable 24/7 math tutor for their children. Algebrator has helped countless adult learners to (re)learn math at their own, comfortable pace.

Algebrator is a complete Math Tutoring solution, appropriate for solving math problems all the way from Pre-Algebra through the Advanced College level.

Here are a few things Algebrator will do for you:

• Solve any problem from YOUR MATH TEXTBOOK (pre-algebra to College Algebra, Trigonometry and Statistics)
• Use the exact same ways your teacher uses in the classroom - yes, it also shows the 'working out'! Just try and see the difference...
• Help you learn math by encouraging you to observe and ask for explanations. All you do is click. Algebrator will help you understand how algebra rules are applied in your problem, just like your algebra professor (only more patient!)
• Cover every math help topic you need: solving equations and inequalities, simplifying expression, graphing, complex numbers, sequences, functions, logarithms, matrices, trigonometry, statistics,  and more...
• All problems are entered using an easy WYSIWYG interface (similar to Word Equation Editor), or via a Wizards interface enabling you to enter problems such as "Find line perpendicular to another, passing through a point..."
• Export math solutions to MathML format and share your work! The new export function generates an xhtml file, which can be opened by most browsers.

All links above will take you to demos of each item.  I want to share below pictures that I saved from some of the actual problems that we put in.

  We are really enjoying the algebra help!   Click here for a special pricing deal just for my blog readers.
