LEARNING DISABILITIES

A word processor can be a convenience to anyone, but for students who have difficulty with handwriting (dysgraphia) or focus (attention deficit disorder), it is a necessity. By the time they reach college, most of these students have learned to rely on a computer for their writing assignments.

Homework that contains math is a special challenge, because word processors are not designed for that purpose. Writing mathematical expressions in Word or LaTex is difficult and time-consuming, once again putting the student in the position of being distracted by the mechanics of producing the document, and unable to focus on the homework problem. Many students continue to struggle with pencil and paper, or give up on science and engineering altogether.

Equator is not suitable for every math-intensive course, or for every learning disability, but it can be a life-saver in many cases.

The best way to find out Equator is right for you is to download it and give it a try.
