WebMathematics Interactive (WMI) is an open source mathematics software. It mainly supports solving problems and exercises in mathematics for the age of 14-20. WMI also helps in verifying solutions and discovering skills and level of knowledge. Users need only internet connection and a web browser to use WMI.

Didactical background

Nowadays more and more people study mathematics in universities or colleges. However, study groups are usually too big that the teacher can help each student in the deep understanding of the educated material. The spread of computers and the internet provides a reliable help for much more students as an 'every day tool'. WMI also supports practicing typical exercises and preparation for the exams.

Technical details

The WMI program is written in PHP. Many other software are also contained in the underlying software packages, like LaTeX, latex2html, Apache, PostgreSQL, xeukleides and so on.
