Cool! For Calculus, Algebra, Trig, etc. Just type what you want into the box at the top of the page.
Free Mathematics and Learning Software
http://www.geogebra.org
Make
interactive graphs for Geometry, Calculus, or Algebra. Also nice
to make diagrams for lesson plans. Can install or run from the
web. Math teachers, check it out.
Gauss-Jordan and Simplex help
http://math.uww.edu/~mcfarlat/pivot.htm
This webpage will pivot a matrix for you, ie get the 1 and the zeros.
Select the size of your matrix, then enter the matrix.. Then you
click on the button that represents where you want the 1 to go, and,
voila! Hit the "pivot again" button, and then pick the next place you
want a 1. Keep going until done. Also, it contains links to help with
Simplex.

This site contains simple coordinate geometry demonstrations.
Download a Free Graphing Calculator
http://www.graphcalc.com/
The program is older, but will graph nicer graphs than the calculator and then you
can cut and paste them into a document or print
them. Also, you can do 3D graphs and use the mouse to rotate them
around. Try graphing z=y^2 – x^2 and see if you can figure
out what it is.
Statistics Book Online
http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/webtext.html
The presentation is the same material as our text but with more in-depth
discussion and is a good choice to further your knowledge of stats.
There are occasional interactive buttons to
demonstrate a topic. You don't need to start at the beginning; the
chapters are listed on the left side of the webpage. Just click away.
Excel Spreadsheet Lame Histogram Generator
CLICK HERE
Unfortunately, you cannot click a button in basic Excel to make a histogram.
It takes actual effort on your part. Cut and paste you data into
column A of this Excel spreadsheet and enter the number of classes
(bins) you want and it makes a sort of histogram as soon as you hit
the enter button. Keep changing the number of bins until you get
the histogram that seems the most representative of the data. Once
you decide how many bins are best, click on the named tabs near the
bottom to get a picture all by itself in one of three sizes. Print
that sheet. Not slick at all...this is just for my students to use.
There is already a data set there if you just want to play around
and see how the histogram looks different depending on how many bins
you pick.
