Exploring math with GeoGebra
|
GeoGebra is a fun, open source program for illustrating formulas and is a must for anyone interested in mathematics. One of the great things about GeoGebra is that it allows users to go beyond just geometry.
The project originated in Austria, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture. Currently, 49 developers from all over the world are working on GeoGebra along with the original author and current project leader, Markus Hohenwachter. Additionally, a huge team of translators are localizing the program into other languages.
