Free Resources from the Net for (Special) Education

Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff.

Anyone looking for a free sophisticated onscreen graphing calculator should check out this amazing resource. I wasn’t exactly sure where to put it, but it has landed on my Content & Curriculum page.

Graphcalc (downloadable program) I downloaded this program and found that it seemed to function well, with a graphic interface that looked almost approachable. The sad reality is that I don’t know nearly enough math to put this program through its paces. If you need an onscreen graphing calculator, however, I have no doubt that this program will get the job done for you. Since I’m no mathemetician, I’ll let the guys who designed the program describe it for you.

“When in the course of computing events it becomes apparent that not all calculators are created equal, one must turn no further than to GraphCalc. When the requirements of your computations exceed the capabilities of your four-function figurer, turn to GraphCalc. When you need to see what multiple compound exponential sinusoidal waves look like, turn to GraphCalc. Haven’t we all at some point wanted to see what “sin(x)^2-3*ln(tan(x*pi))” looked like, and the Windows calculator just wasn’t up to the task?

GraphCalc can be your first, last, and only line of offense against the mathematics that threaten to push you over the brink of insanity. It slices, dices, shreds and purees functions that leave other calculators wondering what hit them.

GraphCalc is an all-in-one solution to everything from everyday arithmetic to statistical analysis, from betas to Booleans, from cubes to calculus, from decimals to derivatives. GraphCalc combines all the features of a professional mathematics package with the simplicity of an easy to learn windows interface. It provides user-friendly help and tutorials to guide you through the easy and fun process of mastering GraphCalc.

GraphCalc is ready to use out of the box. Don’t bother reading the documentation. Just start the program and you’ll see how easy it is to use.”
