When You Start Genius

The menus on the menubar contain all of the commands that you need to work with files in Genius Mathematics Tool. The File menu contains items for loading and saving items and creating new programs. The Load and Run... command does not open a new window for the program, but just executes the program directly. It is equivalent to the load command.

The Calculator menu controls the calculator engine. It allows you to run the currently selected program or to interrupt the current calculation. You can also look at the full expression of the last answer (useful if the last answer was too large to fit onto the console), or you can view a listing of the values of all user defined variables. Finally it allows plotting functions using a user friendly dialog box.

The other menus have same familiar functions as in other applications.

The toolbar contains a subset of the commands that you can access from the menubar.

The working area is the primary method of interacting with the application.

The working area initially has just the Console tab which is the main way of interacting with the calculator. Here you type expressions and the results are immediately returned after you hit the Enter key.

Alternatively you can write longer programs and those can appear in separate tabs and can be stored in files for later retrieval.
