Mathematical Technology for Industry and Education

Saltire Software is a company rich in mathematical technology and continually adding to this expertise by an aggressive research and development program. Our core technologies are constraint-based interactive geometry systems, symbolic algebra, and optimization, and we have used these capabilities to develop products in mechanical engineering, mathematics education and layout optimization.

We do business in several different ways:

  We market products directly to the end user.
We develop end user products for distribution by our partners.
We develop software for embedding in our partners products.
Geometry Expressions

Geometry Expressions is the world's first Interactive Symbolic Geometry System.
This means: Geometric figures can be defined by either Symbolic Constraints or numeric locations. Measurements on your drawing are not only presented numerically, but also expressed symbolically as Mathematical Expressions. Geometry Expressions can be used as a stand-alone program or in conjunction with your favorite algebra system via MathML input and output.

Casio Classpad 300™ Resource Center

The Casio Classpad 300 is an intuitive pen based calculator with drag-and-drop mathematics and geometry. View links and examples in mathematics using the new Classpad 300™.

Saltire Scientific

Saltire also provides materials, sensors and associated software to make data-gathering a simple and reliable task for teachers and students from the early grades through high school. These new products are sold under the name Saltire Scientific.

Math Xpander™

If you have a Pocket PC, you might be interested in downloading the Math Xpander software. The Math Xpander was developed in conjunction with Hewlett Packard. It is free and includes our geometry module.

FloorRight™

in partnership with leading providers of carpet retail management software, we have developed a carpet laying application called FloorRight™ This product is revolutionizing the carpet industry and reducing the time and cost of flooring esitmation and installation.

Analytix and Dynamix

[ Picture of a bicycle ]Our mechanical engineering products center around Analytix, a conceptual design and analysis tool.  Analytix is useful in the first stages of design and analysis of a mechanical product, be it linkages or cams (with our Analytix/Cams product).  You can also do forward dynamics analysis with Dynamix.

Geometry Applet Gallery

Saltire's Geometry Gallery is a collection of Java applets showing interesting geometry configurations. All applets are dynamic. In some cases, points can be dragged. In other cases dimensions can be changed via edit controls. Some of the applets feature animation.
