let you specify your own equation. However MacCurveFit allows you to fit
almost any equation you choose. The program also lets you directly
manipulate the coefficients or constrain them to chosen values. It is very
flexible in this regard and gives you control over which coefficients will
be optimized and even which mathematical algorithm will be used.

must understand what an argument is. Very briefly, an argument consists of
one or more premises and one conclusion. A premise is a statement (a
sentence that is either true or false) that is offered in support of the
claim being made, which is the conclusion (which is also a sentence that
is either true or false). A fallacy is, very generally, an error in
reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which is simply being wrong
about the facts. This is a program that looks at some very common
fallacies and reasonings.

it. The Talking Multiples Teacher accomplishes exactly this. It imitates
the rhyme or song / chant that kids naturally associate with the times

Size:809K Date: 7/25/94
Description:
WordScramble 1.1.1 - WordScramble! is a word game for ages seven to adult
in which users try to unscramble words from 8 different categories. The
categories include Animals, People, Transportation, Foods, Science, Body
Parts, Geography and Things, or users may design a custom list containing
words of up to 7 letters. Each list contains dozens of words ranging from
the extremely simple (cat) to the remarkably bizarre (quokka). Gameplay is
improved by taking words out of the rotation when unscrambled, so that
words won't repeat in the same session, and by making sure that the
random-scrambling of the letters in the words doesn't accidentally put
them back into their original order.

thus allowing her to have them at her disposal and not having to re-write
them for everyone. The Big Deal about this program is that you can enter
your recipes into the cookbook the way they were meant to be entered, with
fractions. You enter 2 3/4 cups AS 2 3/4 cups, not as 2.67 cups as most
programs make you do. I didn't count how many recipes there are, but
there's tons! The layout is easy to follow and beautiful!

Description:
Book Reporter's Guild Demo - We have created the multi-user Book Reporters
Guild stack so that any of your students (kids) can write their own reports
of the books that they read. Here any child can add a new page, and WRITE
THEIR OWN Book Report. The difference between this and a regular
word-processor are immense. First, the child never needs to save their
work, it is saved automatically. The children never deal with files, only
Reports. All the Reports are saved into a single file. Each Report is tied
to it's author. Modification and deletion priveleges are only allowed the
author or administrator. Demo version limits you to allowing only 3 users,
and 3 reports per category (for a total of approx 30 reports).

then manipulate it in just about any way you please. For example, you can
enter the equation 6x+7=-x+14 and eventually work it into the form x=1.
SyMan takes care of moving all the symbols around correctly, and all you
have to do is tell it to do things like add x, subtract 7, and divide 7.
Yes, it does algebra! SyMan allow you to easily manipulate and explore
mathematical expressions and concepts. This is an unregistered demo

little-known tips further down that are really handy to know. The list is

Mac Cellular Automata - What is cellular automata and why do we need it?
Wentian Li says that cellular automata are simple models to simulate
complex behaviors of many degrees of freedom dynamical systems. Let me
preface my next statement by saying that although we use the word simple,
I am only scratching the surface of the field of cellular automata study.
In laymen terms, it means the use of simple mathematical rules to simulate
things that might occur at the cellular level. For the purpose of keeping
the program simple, I am only going to look at one-dimensional cellular
automata. There are of course, two and three-dimensional cellular automata
but I wont get into it. Read the docs first!

with the phenomenon of diffraction and thereby come to understand it. The
aperture and all the relevant physical parameters are very easy to change,
so the student can easily answer the Ah! But what if...? question. This is,
of course, exactly what is needed if one is to reach to a true
understanding of the subject. The program allows you to transform the
contents of the Screen and Aperture windows to bring out faint details. If

and a correct guess results in a Zing! type of noise. Six correct answers
bring you the happy sound of trumpets! That's all. Josh likes it & I hope
you do too.

Size: 43K Date: 9/17/92
Description:
Math History HTB 2.0 L1 - Mathematics is as old as civilization itself. By
the Neolithic Period, as life became settled and villages began to appear,
writing and counting became increasingly useful, if not necessary. With
counting, the history of mathematics began. To count the passage of time,
to weave intricate patterns in baskets or fabrics, and to apportion goods,
crops, and livestock required a basic sense of arithmetic. For more

Description:
Law HTB 2.0 L1 - Law can be defined broadly as a system of standards and
rules of civil society: standards of human conduct that impose obligations
and grant corresponding rights, and institutional rules regarding the
ascertainment, creation, modification, and enforcement of these standards.
The question What is law? has elicited a myriad of answers throughout
human history, ranging from the Old Testament's assertion of law as the
will of God to the thesis of Karl MARX and Friedrich ENGELS that law is an
expression of class ideology. For more information, read the contents of

Description:
Infect Diseases HTB 2.0 L1 - The organisms responsible for human infections
are extremely variable. VIRUSES are simple life forms consisting of nucleic
acid, encoding genetic information, and surface components of protein that
enable them to enter cells. Unable to multiply outside of living host
cells, they are completely dependent on these cells for their continued
maintenance. Viruses utilize the metabolic machinery of the cell and have
the ability to interfere with, or direct in an adverse fashion, the
activities of the cell. For more information, read the contents of this

Gothic Art&Arch HTB 2.0 L1 - The term Gothic was first used during the
Italian Renaissance to characterize all the monuments of the Middle Ages
because they were contemptuously regarded as the products of barbarian
Goths and therefore utterly lacking in artistic merit. Subsequently,
however, the term was restricted to the art and architecture of those
centuries immediately following the Romanesque period and preceding the
Renaissance. For more information, read the contents of this educational

random variations; if these variations can sometimes confer a survival
advantage on their owners; and if there is competition between the
reproducing entities for some necessary and limited resource; then the
entities will get better at reproducing themselves over time. This happens
automatically: the breeding stock cannot help but improve.

simultaneously engage the student in a way they might not otherwise be
engaged. With very little practice, the instructor should be able to
create lessons including digital sound, interactive video, graphics and
text, designed to provide collaborative support to the intermediate and
beginning language student. By David Herren.
