TOOLS

Basic tools that we will learn follow.
(The list is incomplete, suggest other programs)

Calculating

• Jupyter - open-source software based on Python and coming with a "notebook" (free)
• QB64 -- new version of QBASIC, an old simple programming language.  Perfect for beginners and for checking out some hypotheses quickly and effortlessly. Includes graphics (free).
• Maple -- heavy duty symbolic calculations (not free....)

Writing

• MikTex -- a friendly distribution of Latex (free) 
• OverLeaf -- online implementation of LaTeX (free up to two collaborators) 

Geometry (all free)

• Processing -- stand alone program (for artists and scientist) 
• Processing.js -- a version for incorporation into browse 
• P5.js -- newest version of Processing-like  program
• Cinderella -- great for experimentation in Euclidean (and not only) geometry  
• Cindy.js -- same, rewritten in js for easy embedding in web pages
