What is GeoGebra?
posted Sunday, 28 January 2007
GeoGebra is a dynamic mathematics software for education in secondary schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus.
On the one hand, GeoGebra is a dynamic geometry system. You can do constructions with points, vectors, segments, lines, conic sections as well as functions and change them dynamically afterwards.
On the other hand, equations and coordinates can be entered directly. Thus, GeoGebra has the ability to deal with variables for numbers, vectors and points, finds derivatives and integrals of functions and offers commands like Root or Extremum.
These two views are characteristic of GeoGebra: an expression in the algebra window corresponds to an object in the geometry window and vice versa.
GeoGebra is a free software designed specifically for educational use and has won numerous awards in Germany. CHECK IT OUT HERE: http://www.geogebra.org/

It is very useful in teaching mathematics to students ,and for teachers
also.
really it is great
