It does everything that a handheld graphing calculator is able to do with the expectation of the programming capabilities and allows users to solve math and science problems. The .gcw file extension is utilized by Microsoft Mathematics as a worksheet file. GCW files generally contain graphs and other mathematical concepts and equations that make the Math software a useful tool for students. The program goal is to make Math an easier subject.
