Upright? Horizontal? Both!
Interactive Differential Calculus
Visual, intuitive operations make it possible to learn the concept of differentials which is often hard to understand for students.
Function and tangents
Plot coordinates of the slope of a tangent and predict the function
Function and its first derivative formula
You can learn differential coefficients and derivative formulas by exploring this function.
Differential Equation Graph
The solution set of differential equations can be represented as graphs in vector fields, and solution curves can be drawn by providing initial conditions of the equations.

Comment
The invention of the graphing calculator forever changed the face of mathematics education. I feel that the Casio fx-CP400 has once again changed how we teach mathematics. The ability to interact with equations and graphs on a single screen is revolutionary. I can now focus on the connections between concepts. The fx-CP400 allows me to explore connections between geometry, statistics and data analysis through the use of data collections. It allows my students to make conjectures and model the mathematics that is right in front of them. The ability to graph in 3D allows my students to see the world in a whole new way and allows them to ask and answer questions I have never been able to ask them before.
