MISSION STATEMENT

Inductel's mission is twofold. Our first aim is to develop and maintain a library of high quality, reasonably priced reference works as computer software for sale to the general public. Our second is to advance the study and application of artificial intelligence. Computer software applications incorporating artificial intelligence will be featured in future products.

We sell our products on the internet worldwide. Our main office is located in the "Silicon Valley" in the city of Monte Sereno, just outside San Jose, California, U.S.A.
