Description

Dr. Geo is an open Source, easy to study, modify and extend interactive geometry software. kids can use Dr. Geo to explore Euclidean geometric sketch, agile kids extend and program it with its embedded dynamic Smalltalk language and user interface.

With Dr. Geo the user creates a geometric sketch and manipulates it according to its constraints. What sets Dr. Geo apart from the other geometry software is the possibility of studying and even modifying/extending its source code while s/he is using it to create a figure.

All in all, its philosophy is also to empower the user with direct access to the Dr. Geo arcane and programming. For example, with script, one can build a geometric sketch to compute the slope at an arbitrary location of a given curve. Or the user can describe a recursive curve with Small talk programmed sketch.

It is distributed as a universal portable application: you can install it in a usb stick and run it anywhere, from a GNU/Linux, Windows or Mac OS X workstation.
