GeoGebra provides different ''Views'' for mathematical objects, which are displayed in different representations (e.g. algebraic and graphical) and are linked dynamically. This means that if you modify an object in any of the ''Views'', its representations in the other ''Views'' automatically adapt to these changes if possible.
GeoGebra provides three different views of mathematical objects: a [[Graphics View]] (available in two different windows), a numeric [[Algebra View]], and a [[Spreadsheet View]].  
 
  
They allow you to display mathematical objects in three different representations: graphically (e. g., points, function graphs), algebraically (e. g., coordinates of points, equations), and in spreadsheet cells.

==Main Views==
 +
*[[Algebra View|'''''Algebra View''''']]: Algebraic representations of objects are displayed and can be entered directly using the (virtual) keyboard (e.g. coordinates of points, equations).
 +
*[[CAS View|'''''CAS View''''']]: GeoGebra's Computer Algebra System can be used for numerical and symbolic computations.

What are Views

GeoGebra provides different Views for mathematical objects, which are displayed in different representations (e.g. algebraic and graphical) and are linked dynamically. This means that if you modify an object in any of the Views, its representations in the other Views automatically adapt to these changes if possible.

Main Views

  • Algebra View: Algebraic representations of objects are displayed and can be entered directly using the (virtual) keyboard (e.g. coordinates of points, equations).
  • CAS View: GeoGebra's Computer Algebra System can be used for numerical and symbolic computations.
  • Graphics View: Mathematical objects can be constructed with your mouse and changed dynamically afterwards.
  • 3D Graphics View: Three dimensional mathematical objects can be constructed and changed dynamically.
  • Spreadsheet View: You can work with data and explore statistical concepts.
