Abstract

Readability is a fuzzy concept and there are several levels of readability. Readable machine solving avails the development of mathematics culture and is useful to education. There are several methods of readable machine solving, such as the logic method, points elimination method, geometry information searching system or deductive database method. Based on these methods, some new types of educational software have been developed. As an example, the intelligent educational software “Mathematics Lab: Solid Geometry” (MSG) is introduced in this paper.

This work was sipported in part by the Chinese National Science Foundation, the 863 Foundation and DOES company.
