The Symbolic Manipulator Microworld is for manipulating
numerical expressions symbolically in the sphere of the
rational numbers, in order to demonstrate some of their
properties. In the Symbolic Manipulator Microworld it is
possible to key in (to type) the text of an expression to
be manipulated. This manipulations occurs by using axioms-referred
keys (on the right of the interface). To carry out the manipulation
it is necessary to select that part of the expression on
which you want to apply a fixed axiom. Once a part of the
expression is selected, only the axioms that can be applied
to the part of the selected expression are rendered available
by the system from time to time.
The representations realized in the Manipulator Microworld
can be copied to be pasted on the Solution Sheet.
