Math studio - a computer algebra system

Math Studio – Project description
Math Studio is a computer algebra system (CAS) I’m developing. It is intended to be an easily available CAS. It is a scripting language for mathematics. Mathematica – the world leading CAS, has inspired it. It will allow the user to solve equations, differentiate, integrate, simplify and evaluate the expression in arbitrary precision and much more. Math Studio is also going to provide a powerful visualization kernel, which will allow the user to display almost what ever he/she wants. Everything will be easily accessible via a user-friendly GUI (graphical user interface). There is already on distribution of Math Studio available at http://math.pomerac.cz. It is more a visualization tool. However, it provides several symbolical routines such as simplification or equation solving.

Globalisation versus catering

This project is concentrated at McDonald's company in Czech Republic and at “McDonaldization” process. The aim of this work is to find out statistically how many people and why visit McDonald's and find out the connection between the results and the “McDonaldization” theory. We are also posing a question if it is possible to avoid “McDonaldization” or decrease its influences. Our another goal is to gather the information regarding meals served at McDonald's and conditions prevailing at McDonald's restaurants. The next goal is to summarize information gathered and send it to the interested respondents. We can use obtained results and experience as a basis to continue our work. We established a basis of a project which, hopefully, will help to start public debate on McDonald's and “McDonaldization” subject, will supply the information on this subject and will offer more detailed insight into this problem in the Czech Republic. Our future goal is to se up a web site presenting and gathering increasing amount of information regarding McDonald's and connected topics.
