How to Crack Geometers Sketchpad

Usually, it is quite simple to crack a program. Download, find crack, copy paste into directory, wa-lah, all done. However, I ran into quite a bit of trouble with Geometers Sketchpad, a simple, but intuitive program for basic geometrical calculations. Just about all of the versions I downloaded off the internet would not work at all, not with Windows, not with Linux under Wine. So, after a bit of nitpicking, I developed a surefire way to do this.

First, head over to

The Geometer's Sketchpad Version 5.06. The Geometer's Sketchpad ® is the world's leading software for teaching mathematics. Sketchpad® gives students at all levels—from third grade through college—a tangible, visual way to learn mathematics that increases their engagement, understanding, and achievement. The Geometers Sketchpad: Version 3 Paperback – November 1, 2000 by Key Curriculum Press (Author) 1.6 out of 5 stars 2 ratings. Win/Mac from Wolfram. The Geometer's Sketchpad is a comprehensive application to learn geometry as well as elementary and middle school algebra. The teaching tool's main purpose is to support the study of mathematical theory with the aid of visual elements. The Geometer's Sketchpad is a third party application that provides additional functionality to OS X system and enjoys a popularity among Mac users. However, instead of installing it by dragging its icon to the Application folder, uninstalling The Geometer's Sketchpad may need you to do more than a simple drag-and-drop to the Trash.

and download the 'demo'. If you read, the demo is literally the full version without the ability to save or export to web documents. However, don't worry, it doesn't end there.

Basically, what I did from here is download several versions of a crack for this program. The one that worked for me was 4.06 I believe. Basically, I switched the .exe in the demo with the crack, and whadyaknow? Works flawlessly with all 'restricted in demo' features gone. It works great in both Linux and Windows, with a slight lag in Wine, but it is barely noticable.

However, I do know that these files might be a bit difficult to find, so I've taken the liberty of providing it for you, this is the full version, and will work. As far as I know, its one of the only working pre-cracked copies online.

Edit: I got this working with Version 4.1 . Your AntiVirus might complain about a trojan, ignore it, it's a legitimate crack.

Enjoy!

The Geometer's Sketchpad is a commercial interactive geometry software program for exploring Euclidean geometry, algebra, calculus, and other areas of mathematics. It was created as part of the NSF-funded Visual Geometry Project led by Eugene Klotz and Doris Schattschneider from 1986-1991 at Swarthmore College.^[1] Nicholas Jackiw, a student at the outset, was the lead creator and programmer, and joined Key Curriculum Press (later KCP Technologies) to continue to improve the program after it was launched commercially. It is designed to run on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 or later and Mac OS 8.6 or later (including Mac OS X). It also runs on Linux under Wine with a few bugs.^[2] A new 64-bit version of Mac Sketchpad is available as part of an ongoing beta test.

Features[edit]

Geometer's Sketchpad includes the traditional Euclidean tools of classical geometric constructions. It also can perform transformations (translations, rotations, reflections, dilations) of geometric figures drawn or constructed on screen. It is far more than a construction or transformation tool, however. It can manipulate constructed objects 'dynamically' by stretching or dragging while maintaining all constraints of the construction so that a seemingly infinite number of cases of a constructed figure can be viewed. Thus it is a natural tool for making or testing conjectures about geometric figures. Its accurate drawings of geometric figures make it a useful tool for illustrating mathematical articles for publication. If a figure (such as the pentadecagon) can be constructed with the compass and straightedge method, it can also be constructed in the program. The program allows 'cheat' transformations to create figures impossible to construct under the compass and straightedge rules (such as the regular nonagon). Objects can be animated.

The program allows the creation of numerous objects which can be measured, and potentially used to solve hard math problems. The program allows the determination of the midpoints and midsegments of objects. Geometer's Sketchpad can measure lengths of segments, measures of angles, area, perimeter, etc. Some of the tools include a construct function, which allows the user to create objects in relation to selected objects. The transform function allows the user to create points in relation to objects, which include distance, angle, ratio, and others.^[3]
