# drgenius(1)

interactive geometry program

## NAME

drgenius - interactive geometry program

## SYNOPSIS

**drgenius**

## DESCRIPTION

Dr. Genius is an interactive geometry program.

It was also: a calculator similiar in some aspects to bc and Matlab.\
 Dr. Genius is powered by GEL, its extention language. In fact, a large part of the standard calculator functions are written in GEL itself. But this has been removed for now as this code is unmaintained (the code is still in the dr-genius module of the CVS).

## AUTHORS

Dr. Genius is the merge of two projects know as Gnome Genius Caculator from **George Lebl** (see *http://www.5z.com/jirka*) and GTK Dr. Geo from **Hilaire Fernandes** (see *http://drgenius.seul.org/~hilaire*). Gnome Genius Calculator is a multiple precision calculator with an interpreted language, GEL, plus a large mathematical library written in GEL.

Dr. Geo is a sort of vector drawing software but with mathematical constraints - we also call this interactive geometry.

Other people are also involved in Dr. Genius:
