Degree (angle)

A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees.

See PSTricks and Degree (angle)

Function (mathematics)

In mathematics, a function from a set to a set assigns to each element of exactly one element of.

GeoGebra

GeoGebra (a portmanteau of geometry and algebra) is an interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus application, intended for learning and teaching mathematics and science from primary school to university level.

See PSTricks and GeoGebra

Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

See PSTricks and Geometry

Gnuplot

gnuplot is a command-line and GUI program that can generate two- and three-dimensional plots of functions, data, and data fits.

See PSTricks and Gnuplot

Graph (discrete mathematics)

In discrete mathematics, particularly in graph theory, a graph is a structure consisting of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are in some sense "related".

See PSTricks and Graph (discrete mathematics)

Inkscape

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor for traditional Unix-compatible systems such as GNU/Linux, BSD derivatives and Illumos, as well as Windows and macOS.

See PSTricks and Inkscape

Kig (software)

KIG is free and open-source interactive geometry software, which is part of the KDE Education Project.

See PSTricks and Kig (software)

LaTeX

LaTeX (or, often stylized with vertically offset letters) is a software system for typesetting documents. PSTricks and LaTeX are free TeX software.

See PSTricks and LaTeX

List of interactive geometry software

Interactive geometry software (IGS) or dynamic geometry environments (DGEs) are computer programs which allow one to create and then manipulate geometric constructions, primarily in plane geometry.

See PSTricks and List of interactive geometry software

List of TeX extensions

TeX is a free typesetting system for which many extensions have been developed.

See PSTricks and List of TeX extensions

Open source

Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution.

See PSTricks and Open source

PDF

Portable Document Format (PDF), standardized as ISO 32000, is a file format developed by Adobe in 1992 to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems.

See PSTricks and PDF

PdfTeX

The computer program pdfTeX is an extension of Knuth's typesetting program TeX, and was originally written and developed into a publicly usable product by Hàn Thế Thành as a part of the work for his PhD thesis at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. PSTricks and pdfTeX are free TeX software.

See PSTricks and PdfTeX

PGF/TikZ

PGF/TikZ is a pair of languages for producing vector graphics (e.g., technical illustrations and drawings) from a geometric/algebraic description, with standard features including the drawing of points, lines, arrows, paths, circles, ellipses and polygons. PSTricks and PGF/TikZ are free TeX software.

See PSTricks and PGF/TikZ

Polar coordinate system

In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.

See PSTricks and Polar coordinate system

PostScript

PostScript (often abbreviated as PS) is a page description language and dynamically typed, stack-based programming language.

See PSTricks and PostScript

PSfrag

PSfrag is a LaTeX package that allows one to overlay Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) figures with arbitrary LaTeX constructions, properly aligned, scaled, and rotated. PSTricks and PSfrag are free TeX software.

See PSTricks and PSfrag

Radian

The radian, denoted by the symbol rad, is the unit of angle in the International System of Units (SI) and is the standard unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics.

See PSTricks and Radian

Reverse Polish notation

Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as reverse Łukasiewicz notation, Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to prefix or Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands.

See PSTricks and Reverse Polish notation

Sebastian Rahtz

Sebastian Patrick Quintus Rahtz (13 February 1955 – 15 March 2016) (SPQR) was a British digital humanities information professional.
