I found this version of the manual: https://wiki.geogebra.org/G...
It was created in 2016; is it the most current version? If not, where is the most current version?

The online Manual describes all commands and tools, as well as the user interface elements. https://wiki.geogebra.org/en/Manual
There isn't a newer .pdf version of the manual. The Materials team is creating a series of tutorials instead. It's a work in progress, so the page will be updated whenever new tutorials will be available.
You can find them here: https://wiki.geogebra.org/e...
I selected "Answered" because mine was the only possible answer, I guess :)
I know that there haven't been any updates since then, and agree with the importance of an offline manual, since e.g. schools here don't have always an internet connection.
I think that it depends on the recent decision of the Team to create a series of interactive Tutorials, of which the first ones are already available on the Materials platform. Plans were to create a series of them. I don't know how things developed in the meanwhile.
Finally, the good answer is :
"Everybody must have a GOOD internet connection everywhere
and everybody must understand PERFECTLY english language"
And for school (before university)
Every student (even young students) have a smartphone : They all know youtube ! (and they are spending hours on their smartphone)
For them, it is better go watch a tutorial on youtube than read a pdf !!! (and in the same time, they learn english...)
The only problem is that usually smartphone are forbidden in young school, and schools don't have wifi
But in 5 years ? 10 years ? It change so quickly..!
For example, in south of France (région Occitanie), we give a computer to ALL student (en classe de Seconde : 15 years old students) and wifi is coming in school
(in my school, all my students have a computer and wifi will be in each classroom in September)
I know school where students don't have books (books are on internet) and even don't have exercice book (they have Word or OpenOffice, and GeoGebra for drawing)
And quick internet is coming quickly in all countries
So.. we can say.. than GeoGebra prepare for future (or present)
The point (in my opinion) is:
Is it possible to create a PDF guide? Well, of course, yes. Just convert the wiki into a PDF file.
But there are hundreds of commands, and dozens of tools. This means a manual with not less than 600 pages. A Bible.
The QuickStart Tutorials can be downloaded and used remotely. They're standard ggb books.
Look at the manual of Mathematica. It lists all the features and commands. Does anyone currently read or browse it?
I use a lot the wiki, read it, write it, translate it. But for a "normal" user I think that maybe a tutorial makes it easier to get the grip on the software. New generations, especially, are visual, and learn by example. Give my son a manual or a tutorial, he'll surely choose the 2nd one. Then, when he'll have mastered the basics of ggb and will be curious enough, will browse the wiki to learn the details of commands.
Same as when you teach. I don't think that if you want to explain Lagrange's theorem you start the lesson saying: "Let f be a continuous function over a closed and bounded interval [a,b]...". You'll probably draw a function, draw the secant and tangent, and show things. This is the way we teach now. Starting by examples.
Just my opinion, as I said before. Sharing and discussing opinions and points of view is the only way to improve.
We are not discussing opinions, because we said same opinion..! (you only add the difficulty to make an update pdf)
So, if all tutorials are in english,
the only essential pdf is which Noel did for french users : traduction english<>french commands
It must appear on GeoGebra site in each language
(and hope it will be updated..)
IMO..
No Jumera, Noel translated them all, I guess.
The links are in this page https://wiki.geogebra.org/f...
ok Noel did a good job
it is in all languages ?
German and Italian for sure. I guess Spanish, too. Don't know about other languages. Theoretically, if you use the link I provided above in my first post, and change the wiki language into other languages, you'll see if there are localised Tutorials in all the other languages.
Bonjour ,
"depuis que Liliana a été virée" ! qu'as t'elle fait pour en arriver là ?
Cordialement
