'''Algebrator''' is a [[computer algebra system]] (CAS), which was developed in the late 90s by Neven Jurkovic of Softmath, [[San Antonio, Texas]]. This is the only CAS specifically geared towards algebra education. Beside the computation results, it shows step by step solution process and context sensitive explanations. It is also called Softmath.
