About Math•Mate JavaTM Edition

Math•Mate Java Edition is a small but fast and powerful client/server mathematical laboratory which provides a simple and convenient way of handling sophisticated mathematical computations. For an engineer, financial analyst, scientist, calculus teacher or student, Math•Mate Java Edition is a reliable assistant for fast numerical calculations. Math•Mate calculates, integrates and sums up mathematical expressions, plots function graphs, finds extrema and solves equations containing parameters, numbers, logical and arithmetical operations, elementary and special functions, mathematical and physical constants. The program has a number of advanced interface features including on-screen keypads, a history list, keeping a record of computations in a log, error tracking and extensive help.

A distinguishing feature of Math•Mate is a wide set of built-in special mathematical functions which are calculated with the 15 digit accuracy by effective fast algorithms. These functions are widely used in mathematical physics, statistics, finance, etc. This draws Math•Mate potentialities close to those of the well - known mathematical handbooks like Handbook of Mathematical Functions by M.Abramowitz and I.A.Stegun or Tables of Higher Functions by E.Jahnke, F.Emde and F.Losch. In fact, some of the misprints and minor errors in these editions have been corrected in the program.

Math•Mate Java Edition runs under Java Virtual Machine (JVM), version 1.1.1 or later on any computer system that supports Java. The user needs to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) or the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) first. The JDK for Windows, SunOS and Solaris operating systems is available from Sun Microsystems, JDK for OS/2 is available from IBM, JDK for other platforms are also available from the corresponding vendors. Usage of Just-in-time (JIT) compiler is recommended since then Math•Mate's performance is faster than that of most programs of similar kind written in C++ or other languages.
