13. Introduction to GeoGebra –What is GeoGebra? • Genesis: the master thesis project of Markus Hohenwarter at the University of Salzburg in 2002 • Combine basic features of dynamic geometry software (e.g. Sketchpad, Cabri Geometry) and computer algebra systems (Derive, Maple) in a single and easy-to-use system (Geometry + Algebra)

14. Introduction to GeoGebra –What is GeoGebra? • Has developed into an open-source project with a group of 38 developers and 200 translators all over the world If you want to go fast, go alone.If you want to go far, go together.
