- Features:
- Includes active Javascript-enabled formulas and problems for numerical exploration.
- Provides visual concept maps to help users navigate between related topics.
- Covers a wide array of physics, chemistry, geophysics, and biology applications.
- Usage and Reach:
- Used by over 3 million users per year (based on historical data of 50 million hits annually).
- Distributed to 86 countries via physical media (DVD/USB).
- Translations are underway in German, Italian, Chinese, and Spanish.
- Licensing and Access:
- The website is free for individual use.
- It is not freeware or shareware; unauthorized mirroring or copying is prohibited.
- A USB version is available for $50 to support site maintenance and development.
