Today's Presentation

Hi, Alex here.

Today we hit our second presentation.

After giving up on our prezi, we decided to jump to demo. Joe passed around his iPod touch and showed people the demo on the projector, and walked them through the features.

Here are a few quotes:

Alex (confused): "Why are you guys laughing?"
RCOS "It's cool!"

Alex : "And , I'd like to than Joe. Work with a math major! They make good partners"
Joe (CS) : "I'm not a math major!"


We got TONS of feedback, and we really appreciated the interest and enthusiasm. It feels to me that the project is on the right track.

Okay so before we had this: http://touchmath.dyndns.org/demo0/canvas_test.html.
It looks okay, but it's pretty awkward and has a bunch of errors. Joe fixed fixed all of this with his grouping implementation: http://touchmath.dyndns.org/demo/demo.html. Check it out. This is really nice!

This definitely makes my week. Way to be

Feedback
- Add a history! (Brendan Ashby)
- It'd be great to add recursion operators! (Genesis emulator dude)
- Add calculus, limits, summations (Peter Hajas)
- Add diffeq! (Graylin)
- You should get some users. See what younger kids think (Moorthy)

Minor fixes that should be done:
- improved parenthesis
- cleaning up "1"s in division and multiplication
- adding exponents

Major things
- evaluation?
- new gestures
- generators for resolving equations
