The Easy Solution for Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Product Description
Scientific Notebook is ideal for reports, homework,
and exams. With Scientific Notebook, creating attractive documents
that contain text, mathematics, and graphics is seamless and
easy.
Principal
Characteristics
Scientific Notebook 6®
Creating attractive documents that contain text,
mathematics, and graphics is seamless and easy with Scientific Notebook
Version 6. Although simple to use, Scientific Notebook 6 is a powerful
mathematical word processing system that facilitates teaching,
learning, exploring, and communicating mathematics.
Platform Choice
Scientific Notebook 6 gives you a choice of
operating systems: Windows® or OS X®. With its entirely new
Mozilla-based architecture, Scientific Notebook 6 provides more
flexibility: you can save or export your documents in multiple formats
according to your portability needs. Scientific Notebook 6
automatically saves your documents as XML files.
The Power of Computer Algebra
The embedded MuPAD 5® computer algebra engine allows
the user to perform computations on the screen, and to print them out
correctly formatted. There is no complex syntax to master to be able to
evaluate, simplify, solve, or plot mathematical expressions. You can
compute symbolically or numerically, integrate, differentiate, and
solve algebraic and differential equations. With menu commands, you can
compute with over 150 units of physical measure.
With Scientific Notebook 6 you can create two-dimensional and
three-dimensional plots in many styles and coordinate systems, and
enhance the plots with background color, grid lines, and plot labels in
specified locations and orientations. You can animate these kinds of
plots: 2D plots in polar coordinates; 2D and 3D plots in rectangular
coordinates; 2D and 3D implicit plots; 2D and 3D vector fields; 3D tube
plots; 3D plots in cylindrical coordinates; and 3D plots in spherical
coordinates and vector fields.
Plots can be viewed on screen with playback toolbar controls. Use your
mouse to start, stop, re-run, and loop animations. You can define an
animation variable t for your plot and specify the animation start and
end times and the rate of frames per second. With OpenGL 3D graphics,
you can rotate, move, zoom in and out, and fly through 3D plots.
New Look
Scientific Notebook 6 has an updated program window
with streamlined layouts for the toolbars and symbol panels. Most tools
work the same way they did in earlier versions. A mouse-activated
tooltip gives the name of each toolbar button and symbol.Scientific

Document Production
Documents and all files related to them are
automatically bundled together. In Scientific Notebook 6 you only need
a single file bearing the extension .sci to share a document. In XML
and Xhtml files, Version 6 represents your mathematics as MathML. This
makes it easy to create xhtml web files for the representation of your
mathematics on various platforms over the Internet with a browser. For
Version 6 the recommended viewer is Firefox.
An important new feature of Scientific Notebook 6 is that you may Undo
an unlimited number of previous editing changes from your current
session within a document.
The ability to check your spelling in realtime is new. With the inline
spell checking from MySpell, you can catch any misspellings. MySpell,
which is open-source, includes dictionaries in over 40 languages.
Misspelled words have a wavy red underline. A new visual interface is
used to create tables to the exact dimensions you need. Being able to
leave dialog boxes open while you make replacements and corrections
saves time.
Scientific Notebook 6 supports any left-to-right or right-to-left language that is supported by your operating system.
Educational Potential
Scientific Notebook 6 has great potential when used
in an educational setting. It provides a ready laboratory where
students can experiment with mathematics to develop new insights and to
solve interesting problems. Scientific Notebook 6 makes it easy for
students to produce clear, well-written homework.
In a classroom equipped with appropriate projection equipment, the
program’s ease of use and its combination of a free-form scientific
word processor and computational package make it a natural replacement
for the chalkboard. You do not have to erase as you go along, so
previous work can be recalled. Class notes can be edited and made
available for viewing online or printed.
The manual, Doing Mathematics with Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific
Notebook Version 6 by Darel W. Hardy and Carol L. Walker, describes the
use of the underlying computer algebra system for doing mathematical
calculations. Exercises are provided to encourage users to practice the
mathematical ideas presented. This manual is available as a download,
but can also be purchased in paperback form.
Share Mathematics over the World Wide Web
Scientific Notebook 6 is the ideal tool for distance
learning. You can send mathematical documents containing text,
equations, and plots over the Internet; you can open the file at any
URL address from inside the software. It is easy to build an entire
website with mathematical content which can be read with any web
browser that displays MathML, such as Firefox. Note the recommended
browser for Version 6 is Firefox, not Scientific Viewer.
The software supports hypertext links, so your readers can easily navigate through a series of related documents.
Scientific Notebook 6 does not produce typeset output, but can use
documents created in Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Word. The
addition of cross platform capability in Version 6 provides more
flexibility for sharing your work.
Systems Technical Requirements
Version 6:
Windows® XP or above; OS X® 10.5 or above (with Intel® processor)
Up to 250 MB hard disk space, depending on the type of hard drive and the installation options selected
Internet connection.
