==What are Views==
GeoGebra provides three different views of mathematical objects: a [[Graphics View]] (available in two different windows), a numeric [[Algebra View]], and a [[Spreadsheet View]].  
+
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.
  
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.

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.png 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).

Graphics-View-empty.png Graphics View Graphics View:

Mathematical objects can be constructed with your mouse or by using a touch pad and changed dynamically afterwards.

GeoGebra's Computer Algebra System can be used for numerical and symbolic computations.

Other Display Features

Menu view construction protocol.svg Construction Protocol: This interactive list of your construction steps allows you to redo your construction step by step.

Menu view probability.svg Probability Calculator: Allows you to easily calculate and graph probability distributions.
