The goal is to create a community digital library that supports the use and development of software for mathematics education. We began work in September of 2002 and through the help of many people there is already an active and rich resource center.\n\nYou are the key. The point is to enable users to help each other use technology effectively in the math classroom.

Teachers, students, researchers, publishers, and software developers are all working together in Math Tools
