Desmos offers best-in-class calculators, digital math activities, and curriculum to help every student love math and love learning math.
Desmos is an advanced graphing calculator implemented as a web application and a mobile application written in JavaScript. It was founded by Eli Luberoff, a math and physics double major from Yale University, and was launched as a startup at TechCrunch's Disrupt New York conference in 2011. In addition to graphing both equations and inequalities, it also features lists, plots, regressions, interactive variables, graph restriction, simultaneous graphing, piecewise function graphing, polar function graphing, and two types of graphing grids – among other computational features commonly found in a programmable calculator. It can also be used in several different languages. Users can create accounts and save the graphs and plots that they have created to them. A permalink can then be generated which allow users to share their graphs and elect to be considered for staff picks. The tool comes pre-programmed with 36 different example graphs for the purpose of teaching new users about the tool and the mathematics involved. Another peculiar use of the calculator involves the creation of graphic arts – which involves an elaborated use of curve modelling through equations and inequalities.
