Teachers and students in high schools and on college and university campuses
find that MacKichan Software products are the perfect tools for teaching and
learning mathematics. Here's how some of them are teaching and learning
effectively with Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, and Scientific
Notebook. (Some of these links will take you outside the MacKichan Software
website.) Also see a list of textbooks created with our products.
To see these materials, download our free Scientific Viewer if you don't have any of our other products installed.
"Using a Computer Screen as a Whiteboard while Recording the Lecture as a Sound Movie" by Jonathan Lewin, Kennesaw State University. This paper was presented at ICTCM 2004. It describes a different role for technology in mathematics education, a role that includes Scientific WorkPlace or Scientific Notebook in the process of classroom communication.
The Summer '99 issue of the Math/Science-Online Newsletter, the Updated version of the WebMath Newsletter
This issue features three interesting articles on placing and teaching mathematics or science on the Web:
Preparing For Chemistry Laboratoryby George McKelvy
The article describes how to provide students with pre-laboratory information and assessment on the Web as much as a week in advance of the lab.
Mathematical Slide Shows by Lawrence E. Levine
The article describes a series of narrated mathematical slide shows about typical problems in calculus or differential equations. The slide shows were created with Scientific Notebook and Microsoft PowerPoint and they run from a Real Server. Students view them using Real Player G2.
Scientific Notebook as an Instructional Tool by Jonathan Lewin
The article describes some of the innovative instructional techniques developed by the author both in the classroom and in the design of textbooks with the help of the unique features of Scientific Notebook: the combination of mathematics and text, web browsing capability, and computational capability. These three features have made it possible to develop an entirely new lecturing technique and have made it possible to produce a new kind of mathematics textbook.

Calculus: Understanding Its Concepts and Methods by Darel Hardy, Fred Richman, Carol Walker, and Robert Wisner
View a demo of this revolutionary calculus textbook, which incorporates Scientific Notebook in the exploration of calculus concepts.
Virtual Math Tutor Version 2.5 by Jonathan Lewin
The innovative Virtual Math Tutor supplies materials for studying mathematics in the form of over 60 full-color sound movies with a playing time of 50 hours. Topics range from beginning to advanced algebra, elementary analytic geometry, and trigonometry, all important prerequisites for university-level calculus. Detailed solutions to hundreds of exercises are included.
