Software to learn algebra and geometry

In summary, the individual is seeking recommendations for software to improve their understanding of algebra and geometry. They have already asked about using books but would prefer software that provides feedback. Suggestions include wolfram.com, Geogebra, and bagatrix.com, which has been personally used and is effective for showing step-by-step problem solving.

My dad is a philosophy major at school, and feels that he would do a lot better with the logic if he understood math a little better. Can anybody here recommend a good software for learning algebra and geometry? I asked him about using books, but he wants to be able to have feedback with what he did wrong. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I know some people that swear by Geogebra for illustrating geometry to their students.
