Mathix and Math-x
A user friendly computer system based upon
mathematics and cognitive psychology |
|
|
| Goal |
The goal is to create such
a system. The following principles are adopted:
-
the interface agrees with how
the human mind works
-
the language is a computer algebra
with a natural feel of doing mathematics on the computer
-
it is fully functional for standard
tasks in mathematics - equation solving, calculations, plotting - while
you can work as in an agreeable version of Open Office - editting, search,
table of contents
-
it is free software with the
GNU Public License
-
it is technically functional
with a consistent interface to libraries for the various processes
-
the system is written in that
language itself, can compile itself and then is its own operating system
-
it is secure and efficient,
with hardly any scope for virusses and little need for updating
