Great platform for learning Algebra and Geometry

I liked that it was able to help me understand how my math skills were lacking, because at times I'd be getting stuck during class. It helped explain concepts in ways that I couldn't before without having gone through years of college courses, but when you are not sure how something works or if your calculations are accurate, this program will really make things click together. Sometimes there would be multiple answers, so sometimes I wasn't quite sure which one was correct. But overall, it's

Pros
  • The software is easy for people who don’t have algebra backgrounds like myself; even though our school requires us do pre calculus classes prior to Algebra II & III, no ones uses these subjects anymore since calculators came along after we already had everything from computers/tablets (and smartphones) available now

Great for both teachers and learners alike

This program can be used to teach students about many different physical concepts, which makes it useful in my opinion! It's easy enough that even kids could use without problems. I think there should definitely have more free resources available as well (especially when you're trying to get your classroom up & running). Some of our class isn't great with computers - but we've found ways around this by using online programs such as Google Drive or just printing out something from another site…

Pros
  • Easy for me personally because i'm not an expert computer user.
  • Very engaging
  • Great visuals make things easier than words alone; helps understand difficult topics very quickly too :)
Cons
  • In some cases requires higher level thinking due simply being new technologies
  • Difficulty implementing into high school courses

Best open source CFD software for non math people

The best thing about this program, it's that you can use your own data to create simulations with different variables like mass of objects or materials used in construction etc..I also loved how easy was using some features such as "solver" where I could easily solve equations just by typing them into box without having any programming knowledge needed! It would be great if there were more tutorials available since i only learned very basic stuff from their website but still managed manage my…

Pros
  • Easy interface & simple setup compared other physics softwares outthere + good amount for free resources made possible thru community support group+ ability tu build projects via open source principles make project public
Cons
  • There are nuances
