With modes you can give AlgebraKiT more information about the problem.
Examples
AlgebraKiT will interpret \sin{30} by default as the sine of 30 radians. To use degrees, you can set mode gonio_degrees.
To force AlgebraKiT (and the student) to write the fraction \frac{10}{8} into the mixed fraction 1¼, set mode nf_rational.
AlgebraKiT will solve the equation x^2+5x+6=0 by default by factoring. To force use of the Quadratic Formula (‘abc-formula’), set mode solve_quadratic_abc.
You can find the list of modes and a short summary about their behavior in the Reference Guide in the Help Center (choose menu Help Center + > Reference Guide > Modes or click here).
In the near future this list will be available on this page.
