The DivideInto parameter randomly divides a number into bits. For example, $d=divideinto(100,3) $d will contain 3 random numbers that always add up to 100. So $d might contain {23,56,21} or {14,38,48}

We have added a new SelectFrom parameter type that simplifies the process of randomly selecting elements from a list or set. $s=selectfrom($sourceparameter,number) To use a SelectFrom parameter, you need to create a “source” parameter that contains the elements you wish … Continue reading →

We have added a new Uns(implified) display style. The inline calculator automatically simplifies exact calculations. For example, if you have the display style set to Exa(ct), and perform the following calculation: {1/4+1/6} The calculator will return the simplified fraction 5/12 … Continue reading →

We have added a calculator command which can find the MostCommon element of a set. For example, if we create an Explode parameter such as: $m=explode(“MATHEMATICAL”) (Remember that an explode parameter takes a string of characters and explodes it into … Continue reading →

Efofex has long provided students with special needs with free licenses for our products. This has proved especially useful with FX Equation as many students find FX Equation to be the quickest way to input mathematical materials using a keyboard … Continue reading →

We have implemented four new commands in the inline calculator. numerator(value) – Returns the numerator of value (if value is an exact fraction). denominator(value) – Returns the denominator of value (if value is an exact fraction). imaginary(value) – Returns the … Continue reading →

Nearly 20 years ago we were told that FX Equation was the perfect mathematical tool for students who had trouble “writing” mathematics. The ability to just type, with minimal formatting, and have FX Equation automatically format it into readable equations … Continue reading →

It has been a few months since we last wrote, but we have been busy! MultiDocs are moving on and are becoming simply the most efficient way to design and use mathematical materials. If you are interested in creating MultiDocs, … Continue reading →
