With the advance of technology, the number of exciting tools we can find online has multiplied, even allowing many of those that previously required a previous installation to be available just by accessing a browser. This is the case of Desmos, one of the most advanced graphing calculators of these times, with a web version and one for iOS and Android mobiles.

As we mentioned, Desmos is a program, a graphing calculator thanks to which we will be able to manipulate the way we want all kinds of mathematical problems, either from our PC through the browser, as well as on our smartphone, as it is also compatible with iOS and Android environments.

Operation

Thanks to this platform, we can create a massive amount of tables, graphs, or any other element that is part of the calculations we want to perform, even with the advantage over others that we can modify the creations in real-time, constantly watching the effect that our actions have on it, as well as animate them if we want to see what is the progression that they will have later.

In its origins, this application worked as a somewhat basic graphic calculator, although later, the developers added all kinds of functions, including images, animations, lines, and several possible transformations. It is precisely because of the versatility of Desmos that it has managed to become an excellent tool that dispenses with any computer installation.

It is from the possibility of using it on a PC and mobile devices with any popular operating system that it is a highly valued tool in educational or professional environments. If we add to that an intelligent equation editor, it is undoubtedly a tab you should constantly have open in the background of your browser Google Chrome or any other.

Then, it is impossible not to mention the many specific sections that are part of this software, among which are some such as the one that allows working with statistics, the one designed for points of interest, or the one that will enable us to zoom in the parts of the graphs that interest us in a specific way. And as it could not be otherwise, it also incorporates a scientific calculator so that you do not have to leave Desmos.

And if, in general, the use of this calculator is very similar on computers and mobile devices, we have to add that it allows us to control it on the phone from a series of sliders well achieved. Thanks to them, you can set any parameter in seconds and notice how the effect is produced on the graph to decide whether you want it to stay there or undo it.

To take into account.

Create a user profile and perform all your graphic calculations with a logged-in session. You can continue your work on another computer or your cell phone whenever you want, which undoubtedly represents a massive advantage over other systems only suitable for one device.

The user interface of this app seems to us one of the many reasons we could recommend its use to specialists in the field since, at all times, we visualize the essential elements in the central part of the screen. Below that, we find a good amount of features for editing or adding more content. To be clear, it is everything one could hope for on an aesthetic level.

The best

If it comes to analyzing the main positive features we have found in this first approach to Desmos, we have to say without any doubt that its functions are many, advanced in some cases, but always easy to interpret. In addition to that, the graphics are well done, which makes each of the actions at our disposal intuitive, even if we have never used an online graphing calculator before.

The worst thing

Although this is not a weakness, we want to clarify that this application will likely generate some difficulties for people not used to working with the type of content capable of generating and modifying. That is why, as we have commented throughout the description, we believe that its best environments are the university or professional ones, where users know what they are getting into very well.

Rating

Although this program is not suitable for everyone, we have absolutely no doubt that it is one of the best of its kind, so if you are looking for a graphing calculator that is also cross-platform, you should give it a try. The perfect distribution of its contents, both aesthetically and functionally, is the main reason to do so.
