Alvigra is a program under development which is designed to solve and graph algebraic equations. The goal is to do this pretty much the way a math teacher might do it in front of a classroom - going through each step of the solution process one calculation at a time, highlighting each part as it is being used for the next line, and stating clearly at each step of the way what it is doing.
Right now, Alvigra can solve most algebra I level equations. Doing any graphing is still a long ways off. If you want a more complete explanation of what the future holds for Alvigra, check my Alvigra To Do List.
If you want to see what the test program looks like, press the button or the hyperlink below. Try entering an equation like (x-3)(x+4) = (x+1)(x-2) in the field labeled "Enter Calculation Here", and select the menu option "Execute/Solve". Alvigra is still very much under development, and it may not always solve equations in the most straightforward way. If you come back in the future, it should get better.
The Alvigra application should run on just about any system (including Linux, Windows, and Mac), but it does require that Java is installed. If you can't run the application, try going to java.com to download the latest Java Runtime Engine.
