I taught one of the programmers for this, Stephen DeSalvo, a few years ago; I think he is the brother of the founder, Chris DeSalvo. It was a dynamical systems course, and I recall that he was interested in some of the computational aspects so that he could develop things for this software (then only for the Pocket PC). So they've been working on this sort of thing for 6-8 years.
I'm not sure how much money they are really making, it was definitely just a sideline for Stephen in 2003 or so, but I expect that they are doing better now that they are targeting multiple platforms. That's about all I know - I remember thinking it was great motivation for really learning mathematics :) Marshall On Feb 19, 7:13 pm, kcrisman <kcris...@gmail.com> wrote: > Anyone know anything about this? > > http://www.spacetime.us/ > > Not sure what features are "only available in Mathematica and Matlab", > but this seems quite impressive.
