Digital Math is the unification of math and programming. You get a deeper understanding of algorithms rather than learning special cases by heart. This makes math useful and valuable for society and for you in your daily and professional life. You begin by understanding the math of the world around you, and step by step you create your own virtual world, by making physics simulations. Physics simulations are widely used in science and industry, such as aerodynamics, medicine and textile. By learning a few basic algorithms, anyone can carry out such simulations. Try the technology behind DigiMat. DigiMat Pro is offered through a collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.
