How is the ClassPad different from a conventional graphing calculator?
The ClassPad is not a graphing calculator but a next-generation math education tool. With the ClassPad students can not only manipulate complex mathematical expressions but also grasp the relationship between mathematically different fields (for example, vector and geometry) and learn how to think along the lines of mathematics easily. The ClassPad is different from a conventional graphing calculator in capabilities in that: * The ClassPad adopts a pen touch operation for inputting. * The ClassPad is able to input/output a natural mathematical expression. (the program mode is excluded) * For example, when you calculate using the ClassPad, you can input a proper fraction, limit, differentiation, integral, and matrix in a mathematical expression in the textbook. * You can also output the calculation result in a natural mathematical expression. * The four application software programs have been added in addition to the capabilities of a conventional graphing calculator as follows.
