The Mathematica add-on package, Descarta2D, has been certified to be
compatible with Mathematica Version 8 (previously certified for
Versions 3-7). The entire textbook "Exploring Analytic Geometry with
Mathematica" (including the user manual for Descarta2D) is available
for free viewing and download at

The corresponding Descarta2D Mathematica notebooks are available for
