##Gesture-based algebra for the iPad.
####Interviews and observations reveal 2 main cognitive barriers that algebra learners face:
- Uncertainty about which parts of an equation can be manipulated, and how.
- Anxiety about making a mistake, and proceeding down a "wrong path" that won't lead to a solution.
####GestureMath reduces these barrriers by providing an intuitive, touch-based interface for performing algebraic operations on equations.
================================
- First, select part of the equation to interact with.
- Dynamic targets will appear to indicate what operations you can perform with the selected term(s).
-
If you make a mistake, use the scrolling history window at the top of the screen to roll back to any previous step of the equation.
-
Although GestureMath was designed with basic algebra learners in mind, it can also support more advanced equations.

Mathematical constants
- Complex factoring
- Trigonometric and logarithmic identities
