Yes, GeoGebra has calculus features next to functions. The software supports almost all calculus functions. They're each one explained on the Wiki page set up exactly for this purpose. I recommend you check the page to see how to use each command.

Note: These are not the only commands available for calculus. You can use the right menu to change the category as well

GeoGebra is a very complex application when it comes to math, calculus and functions supported. By default, the software is developed to support all kinds of calculus modes. From match, to trigonometry, geometry, financial, etc. The software all the functions embedded into its core making it easy to calculate something based on the domain of work.


For example, you can use standard Algebra commands if you're working with standard math function.

I installed GeoGebra 4.4 on Windows 7 using an Administrator account, but CAS window gave the following message: "Sorry something went wrong". I tried to define the path to bin, but didn't work. What can I do? Also, I tried to post a question on this forum, but I couldn't see an icon for this purpose.

Yes, GeoGebra works with Javascripting since it actively supports and depends on it to work properly. To summarize, GeoGebra supports applets (things you create), XML codes that you can apply to the HTML code, HTML for export and Javascript objects. However, the documentation regarding Javascript is rather large, therefore, I recommend checking the Wiki page where everything about applets, objects, HTML, and XML is explained.


Wiki page: https://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Reference:JavaScript#GeoGebra.27s_XML_format


Note: Take advantage of the available examples to learn how to implement Javascript in GeoGebra.

"For multiple applets on one page, by default only one is accessible from JavaScript. To access multiple applets, you should set the "ID" parameter of particular applets, it will become the name of global variable representing the applet".


Can you please give me an example of how to set the ID parameter and call a specific applet? Thank you!

What are the commands supported by GeoGebra?

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

GeoGebra is a very complex application and its command support is very extensive, therefore it's impossible to provide all the commands supported by the application. They are different because of different working modes supported by the GeoGebra. According to developer's information, there are 494 pages with commands.

Yes, GeoGebra supports animation. In fact, this feature is built-in and explained on the Wiki page provided for customers. To add animation to a free number, angle or a dependent point, then right click on the item and select Animation on from the Context menu. To change the way items animate, simply change their properties in the Properties window.


To control the animation manually, press the following keys:
