• View graphical, algebraic, numeric, geometric, and written formats
• Grasp mathematical concepts more easily through multiple and linking representations
• Recognize how different concepts are linked by watching how a change in one representation appears in others

• Create documents, add problems, configure page layout, and save your work for assignments or class notes
• Use the graphing functions in the analytic view and work with geometric objects in the plane geometry view
