Abstract
The Felix web application allows to model geometric situations with algebraic equations and inequalities. Furthermore, it allows to maximize or minimize certain quantities when calculating the configuration of objects. The talk will give a short overview of the system and the didactical ideas behind it. Moreover, some ideas for further development are discussed.
