WWW Interactive Mathematics Server (WIMS) at http://wims.unice.fr/ by XIAO Gang,
is
fantastic. There are many marvelous tools here, including a Matrix
calculator (determinant, characteristic polynomials, eigenvalues),
a Function
calculator (provides derivatives, integrals, and graphs), Factoris
(factors integers and polynomials), Contfrac
(gives continued fractions), a Base
converter (In ternary, Pi = 10.010211012222010211002 ... ), Ruler
& Compass (allows geometric constructions), Sigma
(computes finite and infinite sums), a Gallery of plots, and
many math exercises.
