WebMathematics Interactive (WMI) is an open source mathematics software. It mainly supports solving problems and exercises in mathematics for age ranges of 14 to 20 years old. WMI also helps in verifying solutions and discovering skills and level of knowledge. Users only need internet connection and a web browser to use WMI.
Background
WMI was developed in the University of Szeged and the Bolyai Institute to help students understand mathematics better. It also supports practicing typical exercises and preparation for exams.
The project was supported by the Ministry of Informatics and Communications, Hungary, in 2003.
Technical details
The WMI program is written in PHP. Many other software are also contained in the underlying software packages, such as LaTeX, Latex2html, Apache, PostgreSQL, and Xeukleides.
