1.4.2 Education

Mathematica is widely used in many areas of education. These applications can be extended to web based education

tools  with  webMathematica.  The  Integrator,  http://integrals.wolfram.com,  is  a  Wolfram  Research developed  web

site  that  solves  integration  problems.  Another  use  of  webMathematica  in  education  is  Calc101,

http://www.calc101.com,  which  mixes  free  and  pay per use  calculators  that  lead  precollege  and  college  students

through integration and differentiation problems, as seen here.

1.4.3 Publishing

Many  publishers  are  developing  web based  supplements  to  textbooks,  manuals,  and  journals.  webMathematica

provides a suitable technology to support these efforts in technical subjects. The Mathematical Explorer, an interac 

tive text from Wolfram Research, covers a wide range of topics from Escher patterns and square wheels to Fermat's

Last  Theorem  and  the  Riemann  Hypothesis.  A  web based  supplement  to  The  Mathematical  Explorer,  built  with

webMathematica,  is  available  at  http://library.wolfram.com/explorations/explorer/index.html,  as  shown  in  the

following.
