Geometry Expert is a software for dynamic geometric
drawing and automated geometry theorem proving and discovering.
With Geometry Expert, we can draw geometric
diagrams dynamically, that is, we can change these diagrams in a
continuous way and at the same time keeping the geometric relations
in the diagram intact.
This feature of Geometry Expert provides a powerful
and convenient platform for teaching mathematical concept in an
intuitive way. Geometry Expert can be used to draw diagrams of elementary
functions and plane curves.
We can also use it to do geometric transformation
and animation. With Geometry Expert, we have proved hundreds of
difficult geometry theorems and generated elegant proofs for them.
Furthermore, we can use Geometry Expert to build
a database which contains all the properties of a given diagram
that can be deduced using a set of geometric axioms. With this feature,
teachers can easily make exercises and test problems; students can
enhance their ability of solving problems by fully explore the properties
of a given diagram.
