About Desmos Studio PBC

Desmos Studio is a Public Benefit Corporation with a goal of helping everyone learn math, love math, and grow with math. We believe that everyone has an inner mathematician and that some people haven’t been given the opportunity, encouragement, or tools to discover theirs. So we prioritize equity and accessibility at every level of our work.

Our free suite of math tools, including our Graphing Calculator, is used annually by over 100 million people around the world. Those tools help people represent their ideas mathematically, connect different representations dynamically, make conjectures, and then develop entirely new ideas. They also result in some pretty spectacular art.

We partner with the world's most popular curricula and learning software, and with the majority of U.S. state-level assessments and digital college entrance exams.
