The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is an open-code resource that uses dynamic computation to illuminate concepts in science, technology, mathematics, art, finance, and a remarkable range of other fields.
You can embed demonstrations on your website or blog. Just copy and paste the snippet of JavaScript code from the Share section of the Demonstration page into your page or post.
Anyone who has a CDF Player (free download) installed will be able to interact with the Demonstration right on your website.

GeoGebra is a free and interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus application intended for teachers and students. Geogebra runs on any platform and in any browser. The list of applications is evergrowing as is the user community and free information on how to use the software.
Why Use GeoGebra?
Show students how to make and export graphs to be included in their lab reports, papers and powerpoint presentations.
Construct and export custom graphs to Word or \(\LaTeX\) for your quizzes, exams or worksheets.
Build animations for your html pages! Use shared worksheets from GeoGebraTube in the classroom to animate concepts, definitions and theorems.
Gentle Learning Curve
Loops are possible using lists.
Geogebra's main features are:
Dynamic Geometry Environment
Built in Computer Algebraic System (CAS)
Allows Scripting
Built-in spreadsheet with extended skills

MATLAB® is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications.
You can also use MATLAB for a range of applications, including signal processing and communications, image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement, computational finance, and computational biology. More than a million engineers and scientists in industry and academia use MATLAB, the language of technical computing. In fact, MatLab has been recently deployed to the I.S.S.
Octave is an open source version of MatLab.
WeBWorK is an open source, online homework delivery system primarily used for mathematics and science. It allows students to complete their homework over the web, and receive instantaneous feedback as to the correctness of their responses.
Instructors can select and edit problems from a problem library or write their own customized WeBWorK problem sets (with their solutions, grading schemas and deadlines) in the Problem Generating (PG) macro language that mixes Perl, LaTeX, HTML, and text.
PG also permits the drawing of graphs and functions, and it can also be extended to use JavaScript and interface with Java Applets.
