mathomatic-14.5.5-1mdv2010.0.i586.rpm

This directory contains only Mathomatic scripts.  They include tests,
examples, short tutorials, and educational math toys.

 	To run all the tests and check their output, type "./test".
	For a short, educational demo, type "mathomatic heron".

Look around and have fun!  Feel free to contribute your Mathomatic scripts.
Here are the good examples and lessons that are available in this directory:

 all.in - script that reads in all test scripts
 circles.in - uses eliminate command to combine the equations for 2 circles
 conversions.in - commonly used metric/English conversions
 cubic.in - calculate the 3 solutions of any cubic polynomial equation
 david.in - demonstration of eliminate command usage
 demo.in - a small Mathomatic demonstration
 distance.in - derive the shortest distance between a point and a line in 2D
 electronics.in - electrical formulas
 ellipse.in - 2D equations for ellipses
 examples.in - some simple examples of Mathomatic in action
 fibonacci.in - direct formula to calculate any Fibonacci number
 finance.in - derivation of the mortgage payment financial formula
 fraction.in - shows how "simplify fraction" and "unfactor fully" work
 geometry.in - commonly used standard (Euclidean) geometric formulas
 heron.in - tutorial for the area formula of any triangle and derivations
 how_limit_works.in - how the experimental limit command works
 hypertrig.in - definitions for hyperbolic trigonometry
 linear.in - combine 3 simultaneous linear equations with 3 unknowns
 pie.in - how to calculate the universal constants pi and e
 points.in - derive simple equations from 2 or 3 points in 2 dimensions
