The company is currently in the Research and Development phase of
its development. The company's key strength is the accessability
and robustness of its interactive objects and math computation
and plotting tools. Currently nothing exists in the market which
has a learning curve of under 15 minutes combined with the power
of MathResources software. Seeing the interaction of numbers and
equations with their graphical output is extremely important to
the overall comprehension of mathematics. This combination of
events provides a real opportunity for individuals to learn math
and math based disciplines. MathResources is providing this
opportunity by producing both proprietary products and
products under contract that are easy to use irrespective of the
end users sophistication.
