Hi fellow students , I heard that there are certain programs that can help with us doing our homework,like a teacher substitute. Is this really true? Is there a program that can assist me with math? I have never tried one until now, but they are probably not hard to use I suppose . If anyone tried such a program, I would really appreciate some more information about it. I'm in Algebra 2 now, so I've been studying things like teach yourself logarithms and it's not easy at all.

That is true , there are programs that can help you with study . I think there are a few types that help you solve math problems, but I read that Algebrator stands out amongst them. I used the program when I was a student in Algebra 1 for helping me with teach yourself logarithms, and it never failed me since then. Gradually I understood all the topics, and soon I was able to solve the most difficult of the exercises without the program. Don't worry; you won't have any problem using it. It was designed for students, so it's very easy to use. Actually you just have to type in the topic and that's it .Of course you should use it to learn algebra, not just copy the answers , because you won't improve that way.

I would just add a note to what has been said above. Algebrator no doubt is the best tool one could have. Always use it as a reference and a means to learn and never to copy .

I remember having problems with mixed numbers, percentages and solving a triangle. Algebrator is a really great piece of math software. I have used it through several math classes - Intermediate algebra, College Algebra and Algebra 2. I would simply type in the problem and by clicking on Solve, step by step solution would appear. The program is highly recommended.
