🎉 What's New at Desmos Studio

Export Points of Interest to Expression List
Easily copy points of interest (like intercepts, maximum and minimum values, or intersections) by clicking the “export point to expression list” button.

Cubic, Quartic, and Sinusoidal Regressions
We've expanded our regression options. You can now explore how cubic, quartic, and sinusoidal models fit to your data.

Copy and Paste Expression List Items
Copy and paste expressions, notes, tables, folders, and images from one graph to another (or even into another application!). With your cursor in an expression line, use the copy shortcut on your keyboard and then paste into a new line or wherever you want.

Unlocking the power of complex numbers in the Scientific, Graphing, and 3D calculators is now just a toggle away.

To get started, navigate to the Settings menu (the wrench icon) and enable Complex Mode. With this feature activated, you can now compute with and graph complex numbers; opening up a whole new realm of mathematical possibilities.

Creating a regression model in Desmos just got a whole lot easier. Get started in only 2 steps:

Step 1: Plot your data in a table
Step 2: Click on the ‘add regression’ icon
✅ Done!

Once you have your regression in a table, switch between different models, plot residuals, and explore until you find the best fit.

• Watch a Getting Started with Regressions in Desmos video.
• Try the table regressions tour.
• Read the Regressions article in the Desmos Help Center.

Zoom Fit Residuals
Use the new zoom fit icon next to the residuals of your regression model to get a better look at how they’re plotted!

Copy and Paste Evaluations
We fixed a bug so now you can copy evaluations and paste them in a new expression line without losing any formatting (including with a keyboard).

Desmos is on the Test in Illinois!
State test calculators for Illinois were added to desmos.com/testing/illinois and desmos.com/practice.

Is that the same Desmos Geometry Tool? You bet it is, but now with increased functionality. We’ve added new construction tools, the ability to construct from a selected object, quicker ways to add labels, change color, and move objects to the expression list, and more!

Read all about the changes below and then try one of the example constructions. We’d love to hear what you think! Please share any bugs, questions, or suggestions with us at support@desmos.com.

Learn More:

• Pythagorean Theorem Example
• Triangles and Transversals Example
• Construct an Angle Bisector
• Two Reflections Example Graph

You can now construct off of an object after you select it.

We’ve added an angle bisector tool!

From the more options menu (vertical 3 dot icon), you can delete selected objects, change points to be draggable, or move object definitions from the token navigator to the expression list.

After selecting a point, angle, or segment, label it or change its color directly from the menu that pops up.

With a segment or angle selected, choose to label with text or the measurement.

You can also label points with their coordinates! To do so, turn on the axes in the graph settings menu and select the point to label it.

In Desmos Geometry, tokens represent the geometric objects that you construct. You can find them in the token navigator at the top of the expression list.

Some things you can do with tokens:

• Drag them into the expression list to see the function used.
• When working in the expression list, click on objects on the graph paper to use a token reference.

And now, you can see even more about an object from the token itself. Notice how angles match their measures, polygons change dynamically as you increase the number of sides, vectors change direction as you move them around, and more.

Points of Intersection: We now show at least 5 decimal places for intersection points and you can copy and paste the points into the expression list.

New Homepage: Easily navigate to any of our math tools right from desmos.com.

Bug Fix: Text and math in one label now line up.

Using a token in the expression list to reference a geometry object is just a click away.

When working in the expression list in the geometry tool, click on objects on the graph paper in order to use a token reference to the object in your expression.

In some situations, we have limited what objects you can click on to fit the context of the rest of the expression. Want to still use a token here? No problem! Hold down shift and then we’ll let you click on any geometry object you want.

• Shift + Click Example Graph

We updated our supported functions article! Find examples of functions to use across each of our tools. Have a question or suggestion for improvements to this page? Reach out to us at support@desmos.com

Polygon edges in the geometry tool now default to a 2.5 px width just like in the graphing calculator. Example polygon

In error messages in geometry and 3D, you can now learn about expected argument types. Check out the new error message

We’ve upgraded random seeds to work more seamlessly with recursion by re-randomizing based on function arguments. Now you can go on a random walk with ease!

Learn More:

• Advanced Recursion Techniques
• Random Walk Example Graph

You can now navigate through colors and toggles (e.g. degree / radian, or line styles) with arrow keys.

Error messages are in the tab order for keyboard accessibility.

The degrees / radians toggle in the scientific calculator has higher contrast and keyboard navigability.

Define recursive functions in the Desmos Graphing Calculator, Geometry Tool, and 3D Calculator. Get started by reading our recursion article or exploring a recursive sequence example.

We were blown away by the artistry, care, and ingenuity on display this year. Choosing just 100 graphs was nearly impossible, but we expect you’ll be as inspired by them as we are. As you explore the gallery, be on the lookout for the small details and bits of magic you’ll find scattered throughout artist statements and notes.
