You say the student has a tablet computer. Don't tablets have an
e-ink mode where you can write the same way you'd write on paper? If
so, then just write it out the way you would on paper. Supposedly
Windows 7 has built in handwriting recognition for formulas, and there
are third party programs
This question is not really specific to python. Apologies if that is a
party foul, but I think it is in the spirit of the list.
Suppose I give an algebra student the system:
y=2/3x + 5
4x - 2y = 7
I want the student to solve the system algebraically, to show her work,
to use appropriate
With Sage you can do this kind of stuff:
sage: eq1(x,y) = (y == 2/3*x + 5)
sage: eq2(x,y) = (4*x - 2*y == 7)
sage: eq1
y == 2/3*x + 5
sage: eq2
4*x - 2*y == 7
sage: eq3 = eq2(y = 2/3*x + 5)
sage: eq3
8/3*x - 10 == 7
sage: eq3 += 10
sage: eq3
8/3*x == 17
sage: eq3 /= 8/3
sage: eq3
x == (51/8)
