The Easy Solution for Teaching and Learning Mathematics
Scientific Notebook 4.0 is ideal for reports, homework, and exams. With Scientific Notebook 4.0, creating attractive documents that contain text, mathematics, and graphics is seamless and easy.

Quick, Clean, and Easy
The software is simple to use, yet powerful enough to facilitate teaching, communicating, learning, and exploring mathematics in the classroom. It is based on an easy-to-use word processor that completely integrates writing mathematics in natural notation.

Entering text and mathematics in Scientific Notebook 4.0 is so straightforward there is practically no learning curve. Formatting is fast, simple, and consistent with tags that define the document structure and appearance.

The software comes with reference manuals and an extensive online help system for creating documents and doing mathematics. If you need additional help, MacKichan Software provides reliable, prompt, free technical support.

The Power of Two Computer Algebra Systems
Scientific Notebook 4.0 is supplied with two built-in computer algebra systems-MuPAD™ 2.0 and Maple V® 5.1. With either one you can solve equations right on the screen using a point-and-click interface.

You don't have to master complex syntax to be able to evaluate, simplify, solve, or plot mathematical expressions. Full computer algebra capabilities are available. You can compute symbolically or numerically, integrate, differentiate, and solve algebraic and differential equations. With menu commands, you can create 2-D and 3-D plots in many styles and coordinate systems; import data from graphing calculators; and compute with over 150 units of physical measure.

In addition, you can use the Exam Builder provided with Scientific Notebook to construct exams algorithmically and to generate, grade, and record quizzes on a web server.

Work with "Live" Mathematics Over the World Wide Web
If you have Internet access, you can open the file at any URL address from inside the software. With Scientific Notebook 4.0, you can send mathematical documents containing text, equations, and plots over the Internet. Scientific Viewer, our free web browser, makes the exchange of technical documents a breeze.
