Abstract

The computational tools are a great help to the study in many areas of knowledge, especially in the exact sciences. Considering this scenery, we sought in this work, free computational tools which support the calculation student, the content of double and triple integrals, where knowledge of the functions behavior of two variables through its graphics be necessary, although not easy. We performed searches of appropriated software for the construction of functions graphs of two variables, which were free, evaluating them according to relevant criterion to the use of this software by the student. Among the evaluated softwares, were identified: MuPad light, Winplot, k3dsurf and GnuPlot, which evaluation is described in this paper. From this evaluation two softwares were highlighted, which the authors point one to a basic use and another for advanced.
