Waterloo, Canada - April 1, 2004 - Poliplus Software (http://www.poliplus.com) is thrilled to announce the release of its award-winning product Formulae 1 for PalmOS devices from palmOne.

Formulae 1 (F1) is a powerful and easy to use Computer Algebra System designed specially for students and professionals that require mathematical support on the go. F1 gives the user the ability to see intermediate steps of calculations as well as final answers. The step feature has tremendous pedagogical value that users will come to appreciate over and over again.

F1 transforms your PalmOS device into a sophisticated math system that utilizes a unique user interface that was custom designed to optimize the use of the small screen area of the device. Most of the screen area is available to view and manipulate math expressions, unlike other calculators where most of the screen is populated by buttons. For a complete feature list go to:
