For windows 95/98/Me users
- It has been reported that on rare occasions,
GRAPES can freeze when the calculator is
displayed, however the author has never encountered
- This is unaccounted.
You can download
the files of these examples.
- Drawing various graphs
- Graph of function
- Graph of relation (equation/inequality)
- Region defined by inequalities
- Parametric curve
- Graph of polar equation
- Circle, point, segment, polygon, line, vector, rectangle.
- The graphs of most of the functions encountered
at the high school level can be drawn (calculation
of limit value is not supported, but Σ
Expressions can be input as we normally write them down.
- You can miss the multiplication sign.
- Powers, roots, and fractions are displayed as usual.
- If an expression looks ambiguous, you can immediately find how GRAPES interprets it.
- Dynamic graph by increasing or decreasing of parameters and dragging of point
- You can move a graph in real time.
- You can draw a family of curves by parameter change and using after image.
- Particular graph can be manipulated independent
- Vectors can be manipulated as an object, not in terms of their components.
- Grapes supports vector operations (sum, subtraction,
multiplication by real number, inner product)
- Many geometric problems can be tackled by
- You can process simple program by using script.
- Script extends GRAPES' potentialities.
- The examples which can be used immediately are provided for approximate integration, equation solving, and some probability problems, etc.
- Tools for analyzing graphs
- Zoom in or out, and displacing graphs
- Function value and definite integral windows
- Showing expression and coordinates with the cursor
- For the presentation
- You can freely mark on the screen with Marking Pen.
- You can change font size.
- You can add caption wherever you wish.
- Captions (notes, labels) can include letters, expressions, and values.
- Various font formats are available. You can also use vector notation.
- Additional functionalities: print, save, load, changing background paper, etc.
- It's easy to paste an image made by GRAPES to another document, such as when word processor.
- Simple and intuitive manipulation with mouse and the menu buttons.
- GRAPES' architecture is based on the idea that the steps of manipulation should be as few and as simple as possible.
- Many functionalities are embedded in simple interfaces.
- Variety of readily useable examples for many
aspects of GRAPES is given.
- Open the examples, you will recognize the
potentiality of GRAPES.
- You can use these examples in the classroom with necessary changes to fit your purpose.
- This is free software.
