Geometer's
Sketchpad and
GeoGebra Prepared Sketches and Scripts
The real danger is not that computers will begin to
think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.
—Sydney J. Harris, Return to Mathematical Circles (1988)
This page contains Geometer's Sketchpad 4.0 and GeoGebra programs and scripts created by Timothy Peil for use in the corresponding chapters. Other Sketchpad 4.0 programs and scripts created by others are listed at the bottom of this page.
The
left-hand figure illustrates the location of the custom tools for the Poincare
Half-plane in the prepared Geometer's Sketchpad sketch. To open the context menu
press and hold the pointer on the Custom Tool icon, which is the arrow followed
by the three vertical dots. And then select the desired tool. The custom tools
work the same as the standard tools.
The right-hand figure illustrates the location of the custom tools for the
Poincare Half-plane in the prepared GeoGebra sketch. To open the context menu
click on the custom tool icon, in this case, the icon says Poincare Half-Plane.
