GeoGebra 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 its desktop applications for Windows, Mac OS and Linux,
with its tablet apps for Android, iPad and Windows, and with its web application based on HTML5
technology.

Its creator, Markus Hohenwarter,[2] started the project in 2001 at the University of Salzburg,
continuing it at Florida Atlantic University (2006–2008), Florida State University (2008–2009), and
now at the University of Linz together with the help of open-source developers and translators all
over the world.

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, GeoGebra expanded their offerings to include an

iPad, an Android and a Windows Store app version.[3]

In 2013, Bernard Parisse's Giac was integrated into GeoGebra's CAS view.[4]
 GeoGebra continues to expand its efforts to deliver the best possible dynamic mathematics
software and services to students and teachers worldwide, with a community of users that extends to
all but a few countries. GeoGebra includes both a commercial and not-for-profit entity, working
closely together from the head office in Linz, Austria to continue to expand the software and cloud
services available to its user community of students, teachers, and growing network of government
partners.

Interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus

GeoGebra is interactive mathematics software for learning and teaching mathematics and
science from primary school up to university level. Constructions can be made with points, vectors,
segments, lines, polygons, conic sections, inequalities, implicit polynomials and functions. All of
them can be changed dynamically afterwards. Elements can be entered and modified directly via
mouse and touch, or through the Input Bar. GeoGebra has the ability to use variables for numbers,
vectors and points, find derivatives and integrals of functions and has a full complement of
commands like Root or Extremum. Teachers and students can use GeoGebra to make conjectures
and to understand how to prove geometric theorems.

Its main features are:

 Interactive geometry environment (2D and 3D)

 Built-in spreadsheet

 Built-in CAS

 Built-in statistics and calculus tools

 Allows scripting

 Large number of interactive learning and teaching resources at GeoGebra Materials

GeoGebra Materials Platform
Dynamic GeoGebra applets can be directly uploaded to the GeoGebra Materials platform, [5]
the official cloud service and repository of GeoGebra related and interactive learning and teaching
resources. GeoGebra Materials was initially launched under the name GeoGebraTube in June 2011
and renamed in 2016. With recent improvement and extended functionality the service now hosts
more than 1 million resources (April 2016), 400,000+ of which are shared publicly as searchable
materials - such as interactive worksheets, simulations, games, and e-books created using the
GeoGebraBook feature.

GeoGebra materials can be also exported in several formats, including as static images or as
Animated GIF. SVG vector images can be further edited using third party software, e.g. Inkscape.
EMF vector formats can be directly imported in several Office applications. There are also options
for exporting to the system clipboard, PNG, PDF, EPS. GeoGebra can also create code that can be
used inside LaTeX files through its PSTricks, PGF/TikZ and Asymptote export options.

Licensing

Community
The International GeoGebra Institute (IGI) is the not-for-profit entity of The GeoGebra
Group, coordinating deployment and research efforts across a global network of user groups at
universities and non-profit organizations. IGI joins teachers, students, software developers and
researchers to support, develop, translate and organise the GeoGebra related tasks and projects. The
local user groups support students and teachers in their region. As part of the International
GeoGebra Institute network they share free educational materials via the GeoGebra Materials [5]
platform, organize workshops, and work on projects related to GeoGebra. The International
GeoGebra Institute may certify local GeoGebra users, experts, and trainers according to certain
guidelines.
