Descartes3D

Descartes3D is a dynamic 3D geometry program for school that enables you to construct geometrical objects in space which usually are hardly or not all constructible.

Any modifications on the objects which affect other constructions can be viewed from every possible side immediately. The presentation becomes additionally graphic by the support of 3D glasses.

The viewer gets the impression of seeing the objects "hovering" in front of the computer or projection screen. To complete the package there are diverse functions for displaying calculations. So the program is an essential device for teachers as well as students to deal with mathematics.

Descartes is primarily a useful help to imagine issues of the analytical geometry which cannot be sketched on a plane without losing its clearness. While other geometry programs emphasize only the optical display, Descartes3D lets you run complex calculations of objects in the three-dimensional space according to high school mathematics.

Examples are calculations of distances, angles or intersection figures. The use of 3D-glasses additionally supports the understanding of mathematics.

With Descartes3D, mathematics can become an adventure when the built objects float in front of your screen.

Descartes3D supports the understanding of the three-dimensional space.

Here are some key features of "Descartes3D":

￭ Construct points, vectors, lines, line segments, planes, triangles, circles, spheres, cylinders, cones,� as with compasses and ruler � simply and intuitively ￭ Manipulate objects using the mouse and watch how modifications change the other constructions ￭ Calculate with Descartes3D angels, distances, intersection objects, etc. ￭ Present your mathematical issues three-dimensionally supported by 3D-glasses ￭ Create diagrams for exercise, homeworks, handouts

Limitations:

￭ 30 days trial ￭ save is disabled; other limitations as well.
