Project Summary

Nankai University, ChinaChemistry Study Assistor: Chemical Formula Manager

       This project contributes a novel application for chemistry knowledge management on Tablet PC platform. At present, it is a hard work for chemistry teachers to prepare teaching material, and it is also a terrible experience for students to go over the chemical course. Their research will provide an innovational application to make chemistry teaching and studying to be more fun and enjoyable.
