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 that piggy back on this capability (e.g., MathType). I haven't tried it myself, though.
If that's not an option, I think you need to look at either LaTeX, or possibly LyX as a friendlier front-end. Things like Sage, Microsoft Math, and MathPiper are good tools for solving equations, but I don't think they will be of much use in terms of giving your student a way to write out the solving process by hand. _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
