Wolosky added that the primary focus of the development efforts will be centered on boosting the user's experience rather than the development of the program itself.
#GRAPHING CALCULATOR FOR WINDOWS SOFTWARE#
Howard Wolosky, a senior software design engineer of Microsoft, stated that the company plans to utilize a third-party graphing engine to help users in rendering their graphs. Among those include the ability to create and interpret functions as well as comprehend quadratic, linear, and exponential models. Other than the said upsides, the graphing mode is also expected to support the common core math curriculum of the United States. Graphing Mode To Bring A Multitude Of Benefits Interestingly enough, a graphing calculator was also one of the most requested features by Feedback Hub app users. Other than suggestions from Github users, Microsoft also took into account the user requests that were received via its Feedback Hub app. Multiple research studies have shown that graphing calculators promote conceptual understanding of developmental math students. Grochocki argued in his proposal that graphing mode will not only help students learn linear algebra easier but will also assist them in more advanced mathematics and other science courses. He also mentioned that the idea of adding a graphing mode stemmed from the requests of open-source contributors on Github. According to Grochocki, physical graphing calculators are costly, while software solutions, on the other hand, typically require licenses and configurations from school IT departments, which are not always an option for most students.
