Desmos is an advanced graphing calculator implemented as a web application and a mobile application written in JavaScript^[1]. It was founded by Eli Luberoff, a math and physics double major from Yale University,^[2] and was launched as a startup at TechCrunch's Disrupt New York conference in 2011.^[3] As of September 2012, it had received around 1 million US dollars of funding from Kapor Capital, Learn Capital, Kindler Capital, Elm Street Ventures and Google Ventures.^[4] 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, two types of graphing grids — among other computational features commonly found in a programmable calculator. It can also be used in several different languages.^[5][6][7]

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.^[8]

A modified version of the calculator has been used in standardized tests, such as the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness test and the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL's).^[9] Moreover, activity modules for classrooms can be created through a teacher account, which allow instructors to view students' work and response in real-time.^[10]

Another peculiar use of the calculator involves the creation of graphic arts — which involves an elaborated use of curve modelling through equations and inequalities.^[11][12] As of April 2017, Desmos also released a browser-based 2D interactive geometry tool, with supporting features including the plotting of points, lines, circles and polygons.^[13][14]

Use Desmos Tools for Math. Desmos ® Tools enable you to use a graphing calculator, scientific calculator, or geometry tool to help learn math or visually demonstrate math concepts. You can access Desmos Tools from the eText and Tools panel when viewing assignments that align to algebra or geometry content, or from within a lesson that uses algebra or geometry content. The advantage we gain from graphing however is that it allows us to more readily determine the set of points that define a polygonal convex set (hereafter PCS) as.

Explore math with Desmos. Plot functions, create tables, add sliders, animate your graphs, and more. All for free. At Desmos, we imagine a world of universal math literacy and envision a world where math is accessible and enjoyable for all students. We believe the key is learning by doing. To achieve this vision, we've started by building the next generation of the graphing calculator.

Using our powerful and blazingly-fast math engine, the calculator can instantly plot any equation, from lines and parabolas up through derivatives and Fourier series. Sliders make it a breeze to demonstrate function transformations. It's intuitive, beautiful math. And best of all: it's completely free. Features: Graphing: Plot polar, cartesian, or parametric graphs. There's no limit to how many expressions you can graph at one time - and you don't even need to enter expressions in y= form. Sliders: Adjust values interactively to build intuition, or animate any parameter to visualize its effect on the graph.

Try typing y=mx+b and adding sliders to get started. Tables: Input and plot data, or create an input-output table for any function. Statistics: Find best-fit lines, parabolas, and more.

Calculus: Graph derivatives (d/dx) and explore key concepts by building secant and tangent line sliders. Graph Maclaurin Series (okay, all kinds of Taylor Series, but that guy gets no love.) Evaluate a definite integral (int) in an instant, or plot an integral with varying bounds. Zooming: Scale the axes independently or at the same time with the pinch of two fingers, or edit the window size manually to get the perfect window. Points of Interest: Touch a curve to show maximums, minimums, and points of intersection. Tap the gray points of interest to see their coordinates. Hold and drag along a curve to see the coordinates change under your finger. Scientific Calculator: Just type in any equation you want to solve and Desmos will show you the answer.

It can handle square roots, logs, absolute value, and more. Inequalities: Plot cartesian and polar inequalities. Offline: No internet access required.
