That means you can do your math homework in Word and not get docked points for your illegible handwriting.

The add-ins are great, but for a stronger solution you should look at Microsoft Mathematics 4.0. It&#39;s a full featured graphing calculator. You can read more about it in our blog post, Tackle your math homework with Microsoft Mathematics (<a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://bit.ly/grpRFf">http://bit.ly/grpRFf</a>). Oh, and it&#39;s also free!</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.office.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=24936" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.office.com/b/office-education/archive/2010/10/04/got-math-homework-try-the-free-mathematics-add-in-for-word-and-onenote.aspx#3945Tue, 16 Nov 2010 13:53:56 GMT53587256-c606-4c9b-bad4-97c86b12ce62:3945aredubbya<p>This Maths add in is really good but Maths teachers for my seniors often say that this doesn&#39;t have all the functionality of Math Type. I hope that Microsoft can continue to shorten this gap.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.office.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3945" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.office.com/b/office-education/archive/2010/10/04/got-math-homework-try-the-free-mathematics-add-in-for-word-and-onenote.aspx#3926Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:00:51 GMT53587256-c606-4c9b-bad4-97c86b12ce62:3926Jennifer Bost<p>Hi Murtaza, </p> <p>It looks like you found a bug. I&#39;ve forwarded the issue to the product team. Thanks for sharing your experience.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.office.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3926" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.office.com/b/office-education/archive/2010/10/04/got-math-homework-try-the-free-mathematics-add-in-for-word-and-onenote.aspx#3880Thu, 11 Nov 2010 20:19:23 GMT53587256-c606-4c9b-bad4-97c86b12ce62:3880murtaza<p>Jennifer,</p> <p>The &nbsp;math add in does not give a numerical decimal result for simple square root, but it does return a numeric result for other roots. For instance the square root of 5 [5^(1/2)] does not return a numeric answer but 5^(1/3) does. </p> <p>How can we force a numeric answer for square roots of integers?

I think this a great program, too! Here&#39;s the scoop on numeric results (also known as a decimal result), numeric results are calculated for simple expressions (those without roots, integrals, limits, etc.).</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.office.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3741" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.office.com/b/office-education/archive/2010/10/04/got-math-homework-try-the-free-mathematics-add-in-for-word-and-onenote.aspx#3643Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:22:35 GMT53587256-c606-4c9b-bad4-97c86b12ce62:3643Mas<p>Hello, I wonder if it possible to calculate numerical results using the new version of the plugin? I can only obtain exact values. Otherwise... great program! </p> <p>Mas</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.office.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3643" width="1" height="1">
