ARITHMETICI

Arithmetici partners Harvard graduates, university professors, and conservatory-trained performance artists to develop software.

Arithmetici partners Harvard graduates, university professors, and conservatory-trained performance artists to develop software that teaches fundamental concepts in math and science through adaptive testing, neuroscience-backed drills, animated lectures, and educational video games, opening students to the very best instruction available, no matter what the limitations may be of their particular place. Arithmetici targets mostly students ages 11 – 22, with particular early emphasis on U.S. students ages 11 – 16. Part of the company’s marketing strategy will be not only to capture a segment of the current market in educational apps, but also to convince the much broader market of families both here and in Asia and Latin America that are willing to invest on their children’s academic achievement to trust new ways of learning. Because the new generation of student is uniquely conversant with the newest technologies in personal computing, and is by consequence uniquely sensitive to style in multimedia, Arithmetici understands and exploits the full range of available technology, and aims to rise to the standard of film in production and entertainment quality. Arithmetici employs adaptive algorithms designed around the very latest findings in neuroscience regarding attention and retention to adapt to a student’s progress, spacing the timing of introducing and recapitulating material based on a student’s unique performance data.
