GeoGebra Editor's Review

Let’s be honest, most of us mere mortals struggle with the complex trinity of geometry, algebra and calculus at the best of times, so any piece of software which simultaneously renders these subjects accessible and makes them interesting, ticks all the necessary boxes as far as we’re concerned.

GeoGebra is a free, open-source, and multi-platform piece of mathematics software designed with one thing in mind, to enhance our understanding and increase our use of geometry, algebra, and calculus. It is suitable for all levels of education but obviously the more comfortable you are with complex maths the more you’ll get out of it. GeoGebra is the brainchild of Markus Hohenwarter and its basic premise is to connect geometric, algebraic, and numeric representations in an interactive way. Its flexible geometry tool provides ease of use and enables you to directly enter and control equations and coordinates, which allows you to plot functions. Using pre-configured tools you can create points, vectors, lines, segments, conic sections, and a whole lot more.

GeoGebra has a very handy default interface with a toolbar crammed full of useful icons to make your life easier, such as points, lines through, two points, polygons, ellipses, angles, reflect objects, and sliders. Small property boxes allow you to customise and configure each item you are working with, and objects, once placed, can be easily moved around, making GeoGebra a great tool to teach, learn, and perform math.
Pro's: As it provides multiple representations of dynamically linked objects, the world of maths is pretty much your oyster.
Con's: It can prove intimidating and a little complicated for absolute beginners.
Conclusion: Because GeoGebra incorporates geometry, algebra, tables, graphing, statistics and calculus in one accessible package its potential uses are pretty limitless. The only restriction is your own knowledge and understanding. It is very flexible, well supported and users are given the option to customise much of the program’s appearance and functions. Put two and two together and it makes GeoGebra.

GeoGebra (the name is a portmanteau made from the two words Geometry and Algebra) is an interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus application, intended for learning and teaching mathematics and science from primary school to university level. GeoGebra is available on multiple platforms, with apps for desktops (Windows, macOS and Linux), tablets (Android, iPad and Windows) and web.

Download Geogebra For Pc

Geogebra is an open source application designed specifically for the learning and teaching of geometry, algebra, and calculus classes. The program allows you to comfortably navigate an attractive online environment. You just have to select the figure you need and type in the parameters for the problem you're trying to solve.

GeoGebra's creator, Markus Hohenwarter,[2] started the project in 2001 as part of his master's thesis at the University of Salzburg. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, GeoGebra expanded its offering to include an iPad, an Android and a Windows Store app version.[3] At the same year it incorporated Bernard Parisse's Giac into its CAS view.[4] The project is now open-source and multi-lingual, and Hohenwarter continues to lead its development at the University of Linz.

GeoGebra includes both commercial and not-for-profit entities that work together from the head office in Linz, Austria, to expand the software and cloud services available to users.

Interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus[edit]

GeoGebra is an interactive mathematics software suite for learning and teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from primary school up to the university level. Constructions can be made with points, vectors, segments, lines, polygons, conic sections, inequalities, implicit polynomials and functions, all of which can be edited dynamically later. Elements can be entered and modified using mouse and touch controls, or through an input bar. GeoGebra can store variables for numbers, vectors and points, calculate derivatives and integrals of functions, and has a full complement of commands like Root or Extremum. Teachers and students can use GeoGebra as an aid in formulating and proving geometric conjectures.

GeoGebra's main features are:

  • Interactive geometry environment (2D and 3D)
  • Built-in spreadsheet
  • Built-in computer algebra system (CAS)
  • Built-in statistics and calculus tools
  • Large number of interactive learning and teaching resources at GeoGebra Materials

GeoGebra Materials Platform[edit]

The GeoGebra Materials platform[5] is a cloud service that allows users to upload and share GeoGebra applets with others. GeoGebra Materials was originally launched as GeoGebraTube in June 2011, and was renamed in 2016. As of April 2016 the service hosts more than 1 million resources, 400,000+ of which are public. 'Materials' include interactive worksheets, simulations, games and e-books created using GeoGebraBook.

GeoGebra Materials can be also exported in several formats, including SVG, Animated GIF, Windows Metafile, PNG, PDF and EPS, as well as copied directly to the clipboard. GeoGebra can also generate code for use in LaTeX files.
