Microsoft Mathematics provides a set of mathematical tools that help students get school work done quickly and easily.

Microsoft Mathematics includes a full-featured graphing calculator that’s designed to work just like a handheld calculator. Additional math tools help you evaluate triangles, convert from one system of units to another, and solve systems of equations.
