> figures (PDF files). Great thing is you don't have to specify extensions

> \includegraphics{fig1}

> If file is processed by latex program then `fig1.eps' file will be used,
> if document is processed by `pdflatex' then `fig1.pdf' file will be
> included. So, generally, it is best have both files: fig1.eps and
> fig1.pdf and don't use extension.

By the way, there is a third way for geogebra, which supports direct  
output of pdf files.

> $ epstopdf fig1.eps

> you on Windows I lack knowledge how to achieve the same there).
>
> 2. Add to preamble of your document _package_ epstopdf, like below
> ... PREAMBLE
> \usepackage{epstopdf}
> ... REST OF PREAMBLE
> Then just run pdflatex, package `epstopdf' will do job on converting EPS
> files to PDF before including them into document.
