SOFTWARE FOR LEARNING

We provide a variety of software to support learning in Computing, Science (especially Physics), Economics and Business Studies at GCSE and A level.

While primarily aimed at the United Kingdom educational environment, these applications will be of use with other national syllabuses.

We offer the following products for sale:

• Learning Python Resource Packs One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven and Eight or all eight as a bundle; programming tasks for the complete beginner to the A Level Computer Science candidate
• File Handling skeleton code, including working with images, in C# and VB.net versions
• Science Investigations:
• Falling Objects - spheres falling through different fluids
• Fundamental Frequency of strings / wires under tension and gases in tubes / pipes
• Heating Liquids - heating of liquids in an insulated container over time
• Resistivity - the passing of a voltage through metal wires of varying dimensions
• Data Structures - a suite of interactive models demonstrating
• The Stack data structure
• The Circular Queue data structure
• The Binary Tree data structure including Inorder, Preorder and Postorder Traversal
• The Linked List data structure
• Data Sorts - a suite of interactive models demonstrating
• The Bubble Sort
• The Insertion Sort
• The Quicksort
• The Merge Sort
• Math Parser Compiler Emulator - learning how a compiler creates an executable program file from source code
• Math Parser Virtual Machine - shows how Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) is evaluated using files created by Math Parser
• Electrolysis Solution Finder - shows what ions from an ionic compound (either molten or dissolved in water) are attracted to the cathode and anode during electrolysis
• Payback Period Calculator - models when an initial investment in a business will be repaid within a five-year period
