Online Math Software and Resources
(If you have any favorites that you think ought to be added to this list, please let me know.)
Helpful Cellphone Apps
- Camscanner
is a useful app that uses a cellphone camera to take a picture of a document, and then crops and sharpens the image and turns it into a PDF file. This is very useful for students who need to submit homework electronically. It is helpful to the instructor, because when the instructor receives a PDF of the homework, it is easy to add comments ( link to Camscanner web page
)
General Websites
- Wolfram Alpha
is a truly amazing site ( link

Function Evaluators:
- Function Evaluator and Grapher
(by Stefan Waner) ( link
) (very simple and flexible interface: You enter a function or multiple functions into a web form. Then you can either enter an x-value or multiple x-values into a web form to produce a table of values, or you can plot a graph.)
Graphing Utilities :
- GraphSketch
(by Andy Schmitz) ( link
) (very simple and flexible interface, easy to graph multiple equations or parametric equations, zooming done by typing into a form)
- Meta-Calculator
( link
) (very versatile, clear interface on multiple pages)
- Desmos Calculator
( link
) (versatile, but not immediately obvious how to use, user can save graphs by setting up a free account or linking to a Google account)
Calculus
- Secant and Tangent Line Grapher
(on Desmos Calculator)(EXCELLENT) ( link
)
- Secant and Tangent Line Grapher
(by David Little of Penn State)(Getting browser to run this webg page is a pain!) ( link
)
- Derivative Grapher
(by David Little of Penn State) ( link
)
- Riemann Sums Calculators
- on the MathWorld web site ( link
)
- on the Geogebra site ( link

Regression Calculators
- Xuru's Regression Calculators
let you paste data in from a spreadsheet. The result is a list of coefficients. ( link
)
- Arachnoid's Regression Calculators
lets you paste data in from a spreadsheet. The result is a list of coefficients and a graph. ( link
)
- Had To Know's Regression Calculators
lets you type (x,y) data directly into a web form. The result is a list of coefficients. ( link
)
Online Calculators for solving systems of equations
- System of Equations Solver
(from the Solve My Math
web site) Simple interface, but the asterisk * is necessary for multiplication.
( link
)
- Algebra Solver
(from the Quick Math
web site) Also a simple interface. The asterisk * is not necessary for multiplication.
