Question

Anyone heard of the mathematics software program called Geogebra? I've just installed it and it looks really interesting. BTW, it's free.

Answer 1

How'd you find out about it, and what does it do?

Answer 2

I came across it during my journeys on the internet. I've found lots of great stuff. I have some of the free stuff linked on my blog, in case you're interested. Textbooks, and so forth.

Geogebra is one of several good CASs.

Answer 3

It does everything from Geometry to Calculus

Answer 4

Sure, I've been trying to graph some things in cylindrical coordinates lately, but been having trouble since WolframAlpha doesn't. Unfortunately I only have school computers to work on, so I can't ever download anything.

Answer 5

That's a drag. No home computer?

Answer 6

If that's the case, I suppose Wolfram really is your best bet.

Answer 7

I was kind of looking for someone to go along the tutorial on it with me. More fun to do that with other people, at least it is for me.

Answer 8

Yeah, I mean, I have a computer, but it's just I left it at my parents house and won't be seeing it for a while. Yeah. Could you link to your blog? I've recently gotten interested in teaching myself about quadratic forms and their relation to the base of the natural log since it just seems mysterious to me.

Answer 9

Hey! You sound like a true learner. Someone who's interested in investigating things just because they're there, rather than having to pass a test or a class. Yeah. I'll get the link.

Answer 10

Here's the link. I still have a lot more to do with it. It's pretty new, but there are excellent links on it even if it's not a comprehensive list, yet.
