Desmos is a powerful and free online graphing calculator that allows users to explore math in a beautiful and intuitive way. It was founded by Eli Luberoff and launched as a startup at Y Combinator's conference in 2011. Desmos has received funding from various investors and has grown to become a popular tool for math education.
With Desmos, users can plot functions, create tables, add sliders, animate graphs, and more. It features a range of computational tools, including calculus operations, statistical operations, and graphing capabilities. Users can also create accounts and save their graphs and plots, and share them with others.
Desmos has a range of features that make it a valuable tool for math education, including:
- Graphing: Plot polar, cartesian, or parametric graphs, with no limit to the number of expressions that can be graphed at once.
- Sliders: Adjust values interactively to build intuition, or animate any parameter to visualize its effect on the graph.
- Tables: Input and plot data, or create an input-output table for any function.
- Statistics: Find best-fit lines, parabolas, and more.
- Zooming: Scale the axes independently or at the same time with the pinch of two fingers, or edit the window size manually to get the perfect window.
Desmos is available in multiple languages and can be accessed online at www.desmos.com. It is a free tool that is suitable for students, teachers, and anyone interested in exploring math.
