2. About Microsoft Mathematics
Microsoft Mathematics (formerly Microsoft Math) is a freely
downloadable educational program, designed for Microsoft
Windows, that allows users to solve math and science problems.
Developed and maintained by Microsoft, it is primarily targeted
at students as a learning tool.

3. Microsoft Mathematics provides a set of mathematical tools that
help students get work done quickly and easily. With Microsoft
Mathematics, students can learn to solve equations step-by-step
while gaining a better understanding of fundamental concepts in
pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, and
calculus.

5. Microsoft Mathematics includes a full-featured graphing
calculator that’s designed to work just like a handheld calculator.
Additional math tools help you evaluate triangles, convert from
one system of units to another, and solve systems of equations.

11. Worksheet tab
The Worksheet tab, displayed by default,
is where you'll probably do most of your
numerical computing. This tab includes
an input pane and an output pane. You
can use input mathematical expressions
by using the keyboard, mouse, or ink
input. When you complete the
expression, Microsoft Mathematics
evaluates it both symbolically and
numerically (if applicable), and then
displays the results in the output pane. In
some cases, the output may include step-
by-step solutions or additional
information about the solution.

12. Graphing tab
The Graphing tab can be used to
create most mathematical graphs.
This tab includes an input pane to
enter the function, equation,
inequality, data set, or parametric
equation that you want to plot. To
work with the graph after you plot
it, the Graphing tab also includes a
pane that describes what is plotted
in the graph, and a graph pane that
displays the graph.

13. Ribbon
The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need
to complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups, which are
collected together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as
inserting data. To reduce clutter, some tabs are shown only when needed. For
example, the Graphing Tools tab is shown only when you are plotting graphs.
