LLC - Logical Link Control of Boca Raton and Waterloo Maple Inc. of Waterloo, Ontario, announced Friday a new product that will revolutionize the way people access and use mathematical and technical information. The Standard Math Interactive CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). , an electronic reference tool for engineering, science, and mathematics, raised the bar in the electronic publishing industry. With technology developed by Waterloo Maple, users will customize formulae and equations, manipulate tables, and solve problems specific to their application. Ronald E. Larson, Pennsylvania State University Pennsylvania State University, main campus at University Park, State College; land-grant and state supported; coeducational; chartered 1855, opened 1859 as Farmers' High School. , believes that "Standard Math Interactive does for mathematicians what the word processor did for writers." This interactive edition of Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae is now available. "The definitive math handbook has become a living, interactive tool," said Mark Licker, president of the Electronic and Database Publishing Division at CRC Press. Standard Math Interactive enables users to solve both simple and complex differential equations; increase computational accuracy; search, generate, and export tables and other sets of data; manipulate and plot equations interactively; and customize data and formulae. "This combination of expert information and sophisticated computational technology reengineers the way technical professionals work with complex information," stated Dieter Hensler, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
