MathStudio usage

By now, MathStudio menus allows the user to do the basic operations on the mathematical data; just put the cursor on the tools to get a description of them.

The rules to input data are as easy and intuitive as possible; to create new elements:

• use the [ENTER] key to edit or to insert an exponent
• use the digits key (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to create a new number
• use the characters in the range A-Z or a-z to create a new monomial
• use the '+', '-', '*', '/' to create operators
• use '(' to create brackets
• use the functions key (F1, F2, F3 ...) to insert special elements: fractions, radicals...

To edit the data you typed, you can use:

• arrow keys to move cursor through the elements
• [ENTER] to edit the exponent

If you want to change MathStudio graphical settings like colors, fonts and so on, you must modify the file 'Config.xml' in the MathStudio main folder. Open this files with a simple editor like notepad, for Win32 users, or emacs, for Linux users; the comment placed at the beginning of the file should help you to understand how you can modify it.

There is no support for data solving yet; but don't worry, we are working on it.
