Mathematics Software
from Virtual Image

Virtual Image are the UK's leading publisher of Mathematics software for schools and colleges. Their products have been praised for their stunning design and innovation by reviewers ranging from the Times Higher Educational Supplement to the distinguished scientist Sir Arthur C Clarke.

The Virtual Image catalogue covers the full range of mathematical education, from classroom materials for primary level (beginning at age 5) to college graduates and beyond. They have also extended the appeal of mathematics by producing innovative cross-disciplinary products such as the acclaimed Art and Mathematics CDROM.

These CDROMs are explanatory guides to mathematical study and the history of art and science, lavishly illustrated with beautiful ray-traced animations.

Art and Mathematics - an accessible introduction to the links between the development of mathematical science, and that of fine art.

Life, the Universe and Mathematics - explores the interaction between simple fundamental rules and complex results.

The Secret of the Universe - the story of how scientists have uncovered the fundamental laws of matter and energy in the universe.

Shape and Space - a series of 3 CDs exploring the fundamentals of geometry.

Polytopia - a series of 2 CDs which chart the development of geometry through history, and extend the Shape and Space subject-matter into higher dimensions.

Uniform Polyhedra and Stellated Polyhedra - these are advanced pure-mathematics packages which explore the properties of regular polyhedra, and illustrate this exploration with stunning images.

These packages are written by teachers specifically for classroom and home use by school students of all levels. They include hands-on exercises with "against the clock" options, and detailed help screens.

Primary Mathematics - elementary mathematical skills from simple addition to fractions and brackets.

Fractions - working with fractions, including cancellation, equivalence and decimals.

Mental Arithmetic - a workout for the brain! Lots of exercises from the simplest arithmetic to working with fractions and decimals.

Trigonometry - sines, cosines and tangents from Pythagoras to three-dimensional topology.

Mechanics - mathematical problem-solving for the real world, including projectiles and harmonic motion.

Algebra - interactive exercises in equation-solving, including linear, simultaneous and quadratic equations.
