Microsoft recently announced the launch of Math 3.0, a math and science educational tool for students in grade levels 6-12, as well as entry-level college students. The software is designed for use at home, to assist students with math and science concepts and homework, or for visual examples in the classroom.

“Microsoft Math provides a space for nurturing student learning in mathematics with dynamic visualizations. The program provides essential ingredients for classroom environments designed to challenge all students to engage in visual thinking,” said Margaret L. Neiss, mathematics education professor at Oregon State University in a prepared statement.

According to Microsoft, the software includes study material for six different math and science subjects: pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics and chemistry. Features in the program include:

  • Graphing calculator;
  • Step-by-step math solutions;
  • Formulas and equation library;
  • Unit conversion tool;
  • Triangle solver; and
  • Handwriting support.

Math 3.0 runs $19.95 for a single license. Volume licensing is available for educational institutions.
