Educational Software reviews?
Darwin:
It doesn't do the same job though - Rapid-Pi is an equation editor/addon on to facilitate adding equations to WP documents.
Equation Wizard doesn't do anything like that - you enter and equation and it tries to solve it or an expression and it tries to simplify it. I can't see any effective to cut and paste expressions/equations to other apps and it is standalone. Just seems to be very limited in what it can do.

You're not seriously suggesting that I actually READ the description of the app on the giveaway site are you? Puhlease! :P
OK, busted (Darwin hangs his head and sulks in the corner!).
Carol Haynes:
Not being snotty about it - but I don't think Equation Wizard is worth the bandwidth to download even from giveawayoftheday!! Certainly not worth $30 !!!

Hi,
An excellent piece of software for students who need to brush up on their algebra is xyAlgebra. You can get it from here http://www.xyalgebra.org/. This is the only educational software, that I know of, that mentors you as you learn. If you make a mistake xyAlgebra returns you to the relevant lesson so you can relearn the basics before you are allowed to move on. Best of all it is totally free!
Regards
Othalian :)

If you want audio/video of lectures, this would be the place to go:
http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses.php
Be sure to check previous semesters...they have more complete lecture offerings and you won't have to wait for the files to be posted and they offer different courses not on the most recent list. (dropdown in upper right corner).
