- 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.
