The idea behind GeoGebra is to connect geometric, algebraic, and numeric representations in an interactively. You can do constructions with points, vectors, lines, and conic sections as well as functions and change them live in real-time. Furthermore, GeoGebra allows you to directly enter and manipulate equations and coordinates so you can easily plot functions, use sliders to investigate changing parameters, find symbolic derivatives, and use powerful commands like Root or Sequence
