Abstract

The GeoGebra software is attracting a lot of interest in the mathematical community, consequently there is a wide range of experience and resources to help use this application. This article briefly outlines how GeoGebra will be of great value in statistical education. The release of GeoGebra is an excellent example of the power of free software development (for example the GPL software yacas provides underlying symbolic algebra), and the website (www.geogebra.org) is a rapidly growing community of users which adds enormous value to users of this software.
