The boxes below allow you to control the base function and the viewing window.  The point X0 can be dragged, allowing you to evaluate the function and its derivatives at a point.  Some intersting examples are given.

It should be noted that the derivative is computation of the derivative is not restricted to the domain of the original function.

GeoGebra is a GNUed software package for mathematics visualization.  The home for the applications is  http://www.geogebra.at.
