The second is the Collaboratory, an on-line information service under development for students and teachers. The Web link feature provides access to a broad array of StudyWorks worksheets organized by academic subject area. Users can browse and interact with the worksheets by changing the data or the mathematics to test various scenarios. Users can freely download this content for any purpose they choose. The Collaboratory is a series of Forums where students and teachers can contribute papers, exchange ideas and collaboratively solve problems on a wide range of math and science topics.
Users can also create their own discussion topics for ad hoc study groups and lab teams.
Help in solving tough homework problems is provided by other visitors to the Collaboratory and MathSoft experts through the Homework Hints Forum. Access to the Collaboratory Forums is open to anyone who has a Web connection and either StudyWorks or their favorite Web browser. However, visitors need StudyWorks in order to create new discussion topics or ask for help with their homework. Inc. All rights reserved.
