• "This is really helpful as well as a great contribution to any Math classroom in the world."

• "It's an unbelievable tool that I had no idea even existed. In my opinion, it is head and shoulders above the competition in this area. You were right Geogebra and Desmos are not in the same league as Autograph.

  "It's a game changer for me not only because of how useful it is but by learning it led me to find lots of different ideas and perspectives in mathematics.

  "I've watched all your YouTube tutorials and they were very helpful. I feel like I have a very strong fluency in using it now."

• "I already have some students wondering why anybody uses Geogebra after getting into Autograph!"

• "I run it on my 27" iMac and it's absolutely wonderful! I simply could not do my job without it."

• "The simple power of Autograph is a lot easier to get to grips with. "

• "I've been using Autograph in some of new Teach Further Maths material. It's been very useful indeed."

• "I definitely go to Autograph if I want to plots some graphs and talk about things with my students... it is easier to use for anything to do with graphs. I really like doing 3D graphs with planes etc. on there too... much easier to do!"
• "... encourage them to use Autograph because they couldn't use GeoGebra"

• "I much prefer Autograph, though Geogebra does have some benefits. I find Autograph more designed for teaching, whereas geogebra more for "doing" maths."

• "Brilliant It is all installed on my desktop at home and also my laptop for school. Just had a play with some of the new features and it is great."

• "It gives opportunities to visualise functions and graphs in a variety of interesting ways, and it's got very sophisticated statistical facilities that are very supportive of a range of data handling work. The latest version has got much better facilities for working with interactive whiteboards, which is a clear plus at the moment. Very very fast, it works very quickly, and it deals with statistics that virtually nothing else deals with in a powerful and quick way. It is extremely powerful ... but it does have an option for having a simplified interface for new users, which can be very helpful. Secondly, one very useful thing is that you can simply hit the enter key when it launches, type a formula, hit the enter key again, and a graph is drawn immediately So at a very simple starting point, all teachers can do something with it." - Chris Olley.
• "It is extremely powerful. One of the major features of version 3 is that it's designed to run 3D graphics as well." - Professor Adrian Oldknow
• See the whole Teachers' TV Autograph 3 review at www.playbackschools.org.uk/programme/1523/secondary-maths-1

• "Autograph has helped me with my A level teaching. It has facilitated students' understanding of the concepts also. I used it with my Ofsted observation recently, the lesson was graded as outstanding. How could I teach volume of revolution without Autograph?! "

• "It really is a most wonderful piece of software....best software tool there is for teaching GCSE and A Level maths I reckon!"

• "It's clear as soon as you start using Autograph it's been designed by a math educator, for the purpose of math education." Review

• "Autograph is an excellent support for teachers wishing to author and proof exam problems - particularly for non-calc problems where one certainly wishes to avoid tedious computation at the expense of concept demonstration"

• "Whatever else comes along, Autograph is without parallel for visualisation in the classroom."

• "I think our kids deserve the best and I know that Autograph is the king, queen and jack of Maths teaching programmes."

• "It is hard to express in words just how much I love Autograph…. It really makes me miss not having any maths classes of my own this year. Such a powerful educationally focused piece of software."
• "I think Autograph is the most powerful, user friendly, IWB suitable and educationally focused graphical software available for teaching mathematics."

• "Autograph is my desert island program"

• "I had never used autograph before and now I'm really enjoying exploring its vast capabilities. The list of resources on your website is also extremely helpful."

• "It is like geogebra, Cabri, SketchPad and a few other tools all rolled into one on steroids."

• "I have been intending for some while to write to say how much I have enjoyed using "Autograph". Not only can one use it, with 11, 12 & 13 year olds for the obvious topics like graphs and transformations, it enables me to produce magnificent regular polygons demonstrating the symmatries, etc, but the most valuable use I think has been, as one boy put it, "showing me maths is not just numbers". They realise they have to be good at algebra to communicate with it, and the graphics enable one to draw many intriguing curves and shapes. I introduce the sine/cosine functions as just function machines which heap all numbers into a range -1 to +1, so one can illustrate e.g. r = 3 + sin2θ or r = 3sin2θ to show rotational symmetry, and just to excite wonder! The terms x =…..y =…….z = never ceases to fascinate, and boys can see the effect of changing the constants."

• "We received a 2009 Good Schools Guide for A-level Maths and Autograph played no small part (feel free to quote on your literature)."

• Autograph - A must have for every Maths classroom from KS3 to KS5.
• As a visual learner it has been a godsend and my pupils have said I have become more enthusiastic and my lessons more engaging since using the software package.
• Excellent graphing package that can sketch curves, solve derivatives, perform a host of geometric and statistical analysis visually – it makes me wonder how I ever lived without it!
• Excellent to use for 1-1 tutoring and whole class via the IWB
• Can’t imagine teaching A’ Level maths without it – A true gift from the maths gods.

.. the latest version of Autograph, 3.10: the superb dynamic software for teaching calculus, coordinate geometry, statistics and probability, without which I cannot now imagine teaching mathematics and especially A level.

Autograph Schoolzone Full Evaluation (December 2005)
Valerie Ann Sheehan
This is a most impressive package, which in my view completely fulfils expectations. It utilises the power of the computer to motivate students to gain a deeper understanding of the material than they would through traditional teaching methods.
The resources facilitate whole class teaching using the Flash demonstrations, or investigation using the simulation and animation facilities. Colleagues are enthusiastic about the potential for this software to produce high quality reports of Mathematics and Statistics projects for GCSE, A-level and beyond. Graphs and tables can be easily transported into word documents. Students can perceive uses for this software in many other subject areas.

1st Autograph TEEM evaluation (Sept 2002)
UK KS 3 (Peter Garner):
"The product is a very versatile, easy to use Mathematics tool that enables the student to gain deeper insight into some otherwise quite challenging Mathematics"

2nd Autograph TEEM evaluation (Nov 2002)
UK KS 4 (Beth Evans):
"This package is an extremely practical and useful mathematical tool and is an essential part of any Maths teacher's kit. The section on Statistics is thorough and covers a wide range of material. I could see many uses for Autograph at Sixth Form level"

3rd Autograph TEEM evaluation (Jan 2003)
UK KS 4 Statistics (Val Brooks):
"Without doubt, purchase of Autograph should be included in a Maths department budget. After some initial difficulties with the Statistics interface, it was possible to contact the author of the software and he sorted all our problems out within 24 hours - this level of support was fantastic!"

4th Autograph TEEM evaluation (March 2003)
UK KS 3 Graphs, Coord. Geom., Statistics (Steve Genge):
"Autograph is a flexible tool designed to support teaching and learning in Graphs and Statistics. It is a massive piece of software with applications across all areas of Mathematics at all Key Stages. Pupils of all ages and abilities can access Autograph because of its clever use of toolbars and drop-down menus. Autograph is supported by valuable Help pages and the publisher's website. It is an excellent package for all schools."

5th Autograph TEEM evaluation (October 2005)
Content Evaluation Summary (Beth Evans):
'A must for every Maths department, this is a tried and true workhorse but with the power of a racehorse. I loved the new extra pages which gave some excellent introductions to trigonometry. The transformation animations allow students to watch as reflections, rotations and enlargements take place, but even better, students can then use the same techniques to enable them to understand how these basic transformations can be combined. The power of this package will take your students through to end of A Level Further Maths.'

"... coursework ... histograms ... scatter diagrams ...

A number of centres are using Autograph which seems to produce good diagrams."

"I have always enjoyed working with Autograph, and version 2.10. is no exception. "It is possible to run this in a junior mode for use with KS3, to avoid any distractions. The data handling section is most enjoyable.

"The CD Rom comes with a booklet of 45 Exercises which are just right for becoming familiar with the Software. " The Reference Manual is very informative. Further worksheets, resources and upgrades are available on the web-site."

Autograph is the world’s best curve sketching software for schools.

Simple and intuitive, it is extremely powerful in illustrating all aspects of our algebra syllabus (and way beyond!). Autograph is able to solve sketch curves (both implicitly and explicitly defined) solve simultaneous equations, plot derivatives etc. etc. etc. We are very fortunate to have Douglas Butler, the author of Autograph as our keynote speaker. Douglas will conduct workshop sessions around the effective use of this magnificent teaching tool.  

"Occasionally some software comes along that is known as 'killer software' .... well a number of Maths teachers have said to me in the past that Autograph is one such package for teaching and learning mathematics."

Chris Smith, Editor, 'Shambles' Newsletter (Thailand)
May 2003 edition (Mathematics section)

"Data from web resources can readily be pasted into desktop packages and onward into Autograph, which showed its real pace in being able to analyse a variety of data sets in a cross-curricular exercise on city sizes."

"A general modelling equation can be entered, and the 'right-click' option 'best fit to data' can find the constants. This task provided an excellent focus to explore the capabilities of Autograph . . in conjunction with a data projector"

" . . certainly well worth considering"

"Autograph is a tried and trusted piece of software .. of great use in the classroom. Very user-friendly and great value for money"

A2 Student:
"The zoom-in capabilities of Autograph are amazing .. the diagrams I included in my coursework were all done on Autograph and my work looked almost like a professional report!"
