				VERSION 2
			    ALGEBRAIC EQUATION
				PROCESSOR
				(IBM only)

If "A = B + C", then what does "B" equal?  MATHOMATIC is a super-smart
calculator program that can solve complicated symbolic math equations.
Enter your equation or formula and solve it for any variable, and if you
want to plug in values, simply type the "calculate" command and MATHOMATIC
will ask you for the values of all variables on the right-hand side of the
equation.

MATHOMATIC is an artificially intelligent algebraic manipulator program
which implements most of the rules of algebra for the mathematical operators
+, -, *, /, and power (including roots).  Any linear or quadratic equation
can be automatically solved for any unknown.  Many other types of equations
can be solved and simplified, too.  Unlike other equation solvers which
approximate a numerical solution for an unknown by prompting for the values
of all the other variables in an equation, MATHOMATIC actually solves the
equation by algebraically manipulating and simplifying the equation until
all of the symbolic solutions for the unknown are determined.

You can simplify (reduce) equations, factor polynomials with repeated factors,
differentiate equations, compare equations, replace variables with any
expression, jiggle a variable about some value to see the sensitivity to that
value, etc.  In addition, simultaneous algebraic equations can be easily
combined and solved for any variable.  Complex number arithmetic and
multi-variable polynomial division are supported, too.

MATHOMATIC is a fascinating tool.  By using MATHOMATIC, you will learn to
convert word problems to algebraic equations and let MATHOMATIC do the rest.
Math enthusiasts will love to watch MATHOMATIC manipulate complicated
equations.

MATHOMATIC includes a tutorial program and a little surprise for anyone
with a color computer: each level of parentheses can be a different color.

Requires 512K of RAM and MS-DOS or PC-DOS 2.0 or higher.
