MarkC: A teacher student at UTS

I have created the movie demonstrating the use of using graphical calculator on my mobile phone. The following things were used

• Mobile phone with J2ME and Symbian OS. I used my Nokia 6120c mobile with bluetooth connectivity
• Math4Mobile application Graph2Go and Solve2Go
• Nokia PC Suite software to connect PC to mobile
• Mobiola Screen Capture to record the mobile to a video (trial version)
• Windows Movie Maker V6.0 to edit and add narration (with Microsoft Vista OS)
• AntonyPranata.com Screenshot for Symbian OS (freeware), shown below is a screenshot showing the actual quality

Cubic equation (ax³+bx²+cx+d=0)  for x³-x²-5x+2 (where a=1, b=-1, c=-5 and d=2) showing minima, maxima and infexion points.

This can be used to verify and visulise calculations. Paramaters can be changed on the fly to learn effect.
