The Geometry Aide
                              Version 1.0
'The Geometry Aide' version 1.0 is a graphical mathematical geometry plotting 
system.  It is not designed to be a tutorial, but rather an aide to a teacher 
or tutor in instructing novice to intermediate geometry students.  Used alone 
by a student it should only be expected to provide a visual correlation 
between the equations (or physical parameters) of an object and its plotted 
equivalent.  'The Geometry Aide' is designed to enhance a student's  
understanding of the more abstract principles of mathematics.  'The 
Geometry Aide' comes with default objects to graph which the student can
modify by altering its physical characteristics through the use of parameter
windows.  'The Geometry Aide' removes the fear of mistakes from the student
by identifying all illegal values entered into an equation or field.  'The
Geometry Aide' also allows the student to plot and create "custom" images
through the use of its two and three dimensional plotters.
