webMathematica is the ideal web environment for creating online courseware structured to meet the specific needs of any classroom setting. webMathematica's graphics and functions--all built upon Mathematica's intuitive programming framework--help students learn and retain more material in less time. In many cases, you can take your pre-existing Mathematica educational applications and incorporate them as web-based education tools. Thus educators can quickly build special calculators and problem solvers and deliver them online. As an example, see Wolfram Mathematica Online Integrator, a Wolfram Research website that solves integration problems symbolically.

With webMathematica, classroom demonstrations can come alive with vivid graphics and interactive capabilities. Exciting 3D visualizations, formulas, and animations can help students quickly gain a deeper first-hand understanding of concepts.

Calc101.com, started in 1999, uses webMathematica to deliver online, on-the-fly, step-by-step solutions to high school and college level mathematics problems. It mixes free and pay-per-use calculators to lead precollege and college students through integration and differentiation. This site includes free integral calculations, but requires one to purchase a password to get these performed step by step. It also has a graph-plotting page that gives students a very complete understanding of how to plot functions, delivering over 80 graphs at once from a single input function.

Addison-Wesley, one of the world's most respected textbook publishers, sells online calculus tutorials and tests that use webMathematica technology. MathXL for Calculus is a web-based program designed to help assess students' calculus skills and to create a personalized study plan for each student based on individual test results.

To develop MathXL for Calculus, Addison-Wesley needed the display and evaluation capabilities of a symbolic computing system online, and webMathematica was the only tool that met those needs. "webMathematica made it possible for us to develop algorithmic calculus tutorials and tests in MathXL and to evaluate the students' answers. Using webMathematica, we can continue to add capabilities to MathXL to make sure it remains the best online mathematics testing and tutorial program out there," said Marlene Thom, senior producer at Addison-Wesley.
