Somewhere in the later part of May, I have written a post entitled "OneNote 2007 Tip: the Calculator". It's really a great feature since you don't have to pull that calculator out of your bag whenever you need to compute for something arithmetic while you are taking down notes in class.
Now we all know that Microsoft Office Word 2007 has this great equation editor that allows us to create equations in our documents easier compared to the old equation editor. However as what we always say during talks and demos, it will not solve math problems for you. Well apparently this has changed thanks to the new Add-in for Microsoft Word 2007: Microsoft Math.
What can the new add-in do?
While it cannot do integration and differentiation from your Calculus class, it can do some really good things like plotting graphs in 2-D and 3D, solving inequalities or equations, calculate a numerical result and simplifying algebraic expressions.
How do I use it?
Once installed, when working with equations you will see a Math button on the Design tab of the equation tools contextual toolbar. Depending on the equation that you have selected you will have commands such as:
- Solve for x / y
- Plot both sides in 2D/3D
- Calculate
- And More
Some commands need Microsoft Math installed on your PC.
Where can I get it?
If you are using genuine Microsoft Office, you can get it from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=030fae9c-704f-48ca-971d-56241aefc764&DisplayLang=en
Hello Guys!
I'm back and welcome to the Second Semester of StudentEmpowered, where we will be having more discussions about Microsoft Office inside the classroom. I just started my second semester almost two weeks ago and this semester I really have an interesting set of subjects such as Literature, Philippine Society and Culture, Basic Economics, Software Engineering, Accounting, Emerging Technologies and Ultimate Frisbee and hopefully from these set of interesting subjects I will be able to share something interesting to you from inside the classroom.
During my semester break, I did a lot of interesting things too, the Philippine Windows Users Group held an event in Cagayan de Oro called GearUp (this is for IT Professionals), in this event I discussed Microsoft Unified Communications and how it empowers the Information Worker along with Microsoft Windows Vista and the Microsoft Office System.
If you are interested, we are inviting you to join the PHIWUG Technical Video Festival which is ongoing right now. This is a contest in which you get to share your knowledge about various Microsoft software through making some sort of video presentation. Contest mechanics are at: http://www.phiwug.org/phiwug/techvideo/
If you have topic suggestions for StudentEmpowered, don't hesitate to e-mail: blog@chesterinteractive.com
Cheers!
