If you wish to use a mathematical platform with a standard user interface, GeoGebra Classic 5 is the one you are looking for. There are actually two versions of GeoGebra that you can download for your Windows ( 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP) desktop- GeoGebra Classic 5 and GeoGebra Classic 6. In return, you will then be able to plot functions, work with sliders to investigate parameters, find symbolic derivatives, and even use powerful commands like Root or Sequence. It allows you to directly enter and manipulate equations as well as coordinates. Moreover, this can be done with points, vectors, lines, and conic sections also.

The idea is to connect geometric, algebraic, and numeric representations in an interactive way. Speaking of which, the advantage GeoGebra can offer over similar apps is that it provides multiple representations of objects that are all dynamically linked. This academic tool is a rather complicated application that is aimed strictly at those comfortable with difficult math.
