In one convenient package, Microsoft Student 2006 provides students with templates, organizational tools, tutorials, translator tools, and a just about everything else they'll need to finish -- and ace! -- their French homework, algebra exam and research papers.

Student 2006 consolidates many learning tools into a seamless experience.

Quadratic Equations and 3-D Graphics: The Graphing Calculator Software A great complement to any handheld calculator, the easy-to-use Graphing/Scientific Calculator Software can help speed up individual math calculations, or can be used to create high-quality group science projects.

The intuitive Graphing/Scientific Calculator Software helps speed up math calculations and provides graphing capabilities in full color.

Much more than a handheld device, this calculator lets students enter math problems exactly the way they are displayed in textbooks, so there's no need to learn any new syntax simply to complete homework assignments. From helping with quadratic equations to providing 3-D graphing capabilities in full color, this calculator does it all. And best of all, it allows students to save their calculations to share with their study group or to finish on their own at a later time.

Microsoft Student 2006 also offers online math help with step-by-step tutorials that are taken directly from popular math textbooks used in schools. This way students can learn from examples that will actually help them when it comes time for the big test.

Researching Literature and History With a subscription through October 2006 to Microsoft Encarta Reference Premium, students have immediate access to one of the world's most comprehensive sources of research information in the world. Literature guides offer in-depth information to leading writers and works of literature; over 68,000 articles provide the background information students will need for research papers; over 29,000 Web page links, pre-selected by professional researchers and editors, guarantee that they won't be wasting valuable time visiting irrelevant Web sites.

Students also have access to more than 2,000 sound and music clips, 1.8 million map locations, and 300 video clips. In addition, Microsoft Student 2006 offers several interactive features for all levels of learning, including interactive videos from The Discovery Channel, an interactive world atlas, Encarta for Kids, Africana Encyclopedia, Virtual Flight, and much more.

The Student Essentials interface gives students the tools they need to excel at virtually every level of the learning curve.

Also, tutorial content from leading publishers provides students with advanced guidance on writing reports, building presentations, and creating the right visuals to complement their assignments.
