I am designing an educational interface for teaching algebra rules. I am looking for a program to parse mathematical equations over symbols, and provide two interfaces for validly transforming them. The language is flexible, but I prefer Java or Flash. Equations should include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, as well as necessary parentheses. These should be graphically displayed (i.e., with a horizontal bar denoting division), rather than presented as text. Modeled transformations should include the distributive, commutative operations, as well as transposition. Examples follow: Commutative: If the equation is currently a + b = a + b then it should be possible to transform into b + a = a + b Complex expressions must also be handled. So a*b + c*d = x then it should be possible to transform into c*d + a*b = x Distributive: If the equation is currently a * (b + c) = (b + c) * a then it should be possible to transform it into a * b + a * c = (b + c) * a Transposition: If the equation is currently a + b = c + d then it should be possible to transform it into a = c + d - b Equation input: The user should be able to type a valid equation into a field. Unnecessary parentheses should be dropped. For instance, rather than presenting the equation a*(b*c) = x, the program should display a*b*c = x Throughout, the associative property should be ignored. Transformation interface: There are two required transformation interfaces; first, users should be able to transform equations using a command-line interface. The second interface should be graphical: The user should be able to click on a term to “pick up?? that term, and drag and drop it in a target location. This project is expected to serve as a baseline for further expansion, so it is important that the code be written clearly, with an eye toward further development.
