*** BEST EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ***
A Powerful new way to learn Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fort Worth, TX - Insight Advantage announces availability of the first middle
school to early college Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry supplement that
combines classroom level power with in-home ease-of-use.
With XYSee 4.0, users conduct fully interactive "what if" analysis on a
broad array of functions and forms while viewing the results graphically.
Because of its extremely broad coverage, XYSee is an excellent resource when
preparing for the SAT, ACT, and college Math Placement Tests.
XYSee frees time-crunched teachers and frustrated parents stuck between
inappropriate "edugames" and hard-to-use graduate level programs.
Unlike programs that require the user to enter complex formulas, XYSee
provides templates of equations pre-loaded with realistic parameter values.
As the user progresses, the complexity of each standard equation can be
easily modified to include advanced concepts such as axis translation.
XYSee's graphically inviting interface with its colorful icon based menus,
pop-up button bars, and in-cell formula editing is both attractive and
extremely easy to use; taking only minutes to learn.
Thanks to its "intelligent" mouse control system, even first-time computer
users can easily navigate through the program and utilize all of its advanced
features.
Additional Important Features:
XYSee's concept-reinforcement module challenges the user's problem solving
skills on simple to complex puzzles.
To solve a puzzle, the user must duplicate the form, position, and orientation
of each of its pieces in a minimum amount of time and number of attempts.
Because they directly reinforce skills used in the other program modules,
XYSee's puzzles are not just a simple reward mechanism, but a true
educational experience.
XYSee's powerful, yet easy-to-use macro facility is designed for new, as well
as experienced users.
With a simple language consisting of commands like "right", "accept", and
"message", the user can quickly learn to create custom scripts that focus on
specific interests or problem areas.
Several example macros are included with XYSee, and the user can easily add
more with the program's "smart" editor.
XYSee includes a step-by-step program manual and comprehensive on-line
tutorial to get the user up and running quickly.
"The tutorial is one of the best I've seen," said XYSee user Charles Roumbough,
president of CTR Technical Services.
XYSee runs on IBM-PC compatible computers with VGA graphics and either DOS
or Microsoft Windows(tm). A hard disk, mouse, and dot matrix or laser
printer are recommended, but not required.
Window's Compatibility:
An important feature of XYSee is that it works exactly the same in both
Windows and DOS.
To install and run XYSee from Windows, the user merely executes "winstall" and
clicks the program icon.
For DOS users, the familiar "install" program is provided.
Whether running in Windows or DOS, XYSee presents the user with the identical,
highly acclaimed 3-D look-and-feel.
