Draw the figure, get the mathematics. GXWeb, a free mathematical modeling program, combines sketch-based drawing tools and symbolic measurements to extract algebra from a geometric model, solve the algebra and explore the solution. Engage students in inquiry and discovery activities with a rich environment for interactive exploration of mathematical concepts ranging from Algebra and Trigonometry through Calculus.
The combination of sketch-based drawing tools and symbolic measurement capability uniquely builds the bridge between Geometry and Algebra. This is done by drawing a sketch, entering lengths, angles and other constraints, either as numbers or variables or a combination and then discovering measurements, either numeric or as algebraic or trigonometric expressions based on input variables.
If you sketch a function in GXWeb, the program will try to identify what kind of function it is and add an equation with unknown parameters. It will then find suitable values of the parameters. Another feature lets you create a locus of a point and gives you the equation of the locus. Mathematics generated by GXWeb can readily be copied into apps such as Desmos for graphing and Wolfram Alpha for algebraic manipulation. These features make the app a true mathematical modeling program of interest to Algebra, Geometry and Calculus teachers.
GXWeb uses the full geometry engine and CAS from our Geometry Expressions program.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
