The Desmos graphing calculator is the best zero-cost math visualization software. It is used by students and teachers around the world but also by artists and programmers.
By the end of the course, you’ll be familiar with all of Desmos’ main features. You’ll be able to take advantage of this powerful technology to impress your friends, get better grades, draw cool designs, or be a better teacher.
This course assumes no prior knowledge. Desmos is super user-friendly compared to previous graphing calculators. Although math is NOT the focus of the course, you’ll probably learn a thing or two about math along the way.
In this class you'll learn:
How to customize and share your visualizations
How to use sliders to animate your graphs
About all the different types of graphable expressions
How to use lists, tables, and statistics
How to use derivatives and integrals
Create your first Desmos graph, exploring a sine function, edit axes and labels with pi, switch between radians and degrees, and learn to save, export, and share your work.
Discover how Desmos decimal sliders animate graphs, reveal function behavior by varying C and X, and generate tangent lines with derivatives, labeled equations, and rounded values.
Explore lists and statistics in decimals to generate random numbers that are normally distributed, then compute correlation, mean, and standard deviation, and fit a line of best fit with residuals.

Who am I?
My name is Olivier Chabot. I'm a certified math and physics teacher in Ontario. I recently completed my Master’s in stats at Carleton University where I did my undergrad in math. I use Desmos almost on a daily basis for my work and personal life. It is important to note that I do not work for Desmos.
