Product Description:

With a scope that spans the mathematics curriculum from middle school to college, The Geometer's Sketchpad brings a powerful dimension to the study of mathematics.

I downloaded the 4.0.7 updater twice and attempted to install it. It said it was "gathering information". Eventually it said it was not responding and I had to force quit. I am on a MacBook Pro running Leopard (10.5.2).
