In addition, Fathom's environment is excellent for the study of probability. Drag and Drop Access to Data on the Internet Drag a URL from a web browser into Fathom. Built-in heuristics for data import figure out where the data on that page begins, where it ends, and how it is structured. Typically, within minutes you are ready for data analysis. With its function plotting, formula capabilities, and built-in recursion, Fathom leads students to want to construct models, not just find the answer.
