- A Powerful new way to learn Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Fort Worth, TX - Insight Advantage announces availability of the first
- middle school to early college Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry
- supplement that combines classroom level power with in-home ease-of-use.
-
- With XYSee 4.0, users conduct fully interactive "what if" analysis on a
- broad array of functions and forms while viewing the results graphically.
- Because of its extremely broad coverage, XYSee is an excellent resource
- when preparing for the SAT, ACT, and college Math Placement Tests.
-
- XYSee frees time-crunched teachers and frustrated parents stuck between
- inappropriate "edugames" and hard-to-use graduate level programs. Unlike
- programs that require the user to enter complex formulas, XYSee provides
- templates of equations pre-loaded with realistic parameter values. As
- the user progresses, the complexity of each standard equation can be
- easily modified to include advanced concepts such as axis translation.
-
- XYSee's graphically inviting interface with its colorful icon based
- menus, pop-up button bars, and in-cell formula editing is both attractive
- and extremely easy to use; taking only minutes to learn.
- Thanks to its "intelligent" mouse control system, even first-time
- computer users can easily navigate through the program and utilize all of
- its advanced features.
-
- Additional Important Features:
-
- XYSee's concept-reinforcement module challenges the user's problem
- solving skills on simple to complex puzzles. To solve a puzzle, the user
- must duplicate the form, position, and orientation of each of its pieces
- in a minimum amount of time and number of attempts.
- Because they directly reinforce skills used in the other program modules,
- XYSee's puzzles are not just a simple reward mechanism, but a true
- educational experience.
-
- XYSee's powerful, yet easy-to-use macro facility is designed for new, as
- well as experienced users. With a simple language consisting of commands
- like "right", "accept", and "message", the user can quickly learn to
- create custom scripts that focus on specific interests or problem areas.
- Several example macros are included with XYSee, and the user can easily
- add more with the program's "smart" editor.
-
- XYSee includes a step-by-step program manual and comprehensive on-line
- tutorial to get the user up and running quickly.
- "The tutorial is one of the best I've seen," said XYSee user Charles
- Roumbough, president of CTR Technical Services.
-
- XYSee runs on IBM-PC compatible computers with VGA graphics and either
- DOS or Microsoft Windows(tm). A hard disk, mouse, and dot matrix or
- laser printer are recommended, but not required.
-
- Window's Compatibility:
- An important feature of XYSee is that it works exactly the same in both
- Windows and DOS. To install and run XYSee from Windows, the user merely
- executes "winstall" and clicks the program icon.
- For DOS users, the familiar "install" program is provided.
- Whether running in Windows or DOS, XYSee presents the user with the
- identical, highly acclaimed 3-D look-and-feel.
