2D,3D graph plotting software

[neutrino]

Hi,
I downloaded a program called GraphCalc(www.graphcalc.com) a couple of days back, and I have been having fun putting in functions and generating surfaces. Could someone recommend other such softwares(freewares) that are as good or better than the above mentioned. It need not strictly be a graphing program, but I would like to have one a little more functional. I've gone thro' the web, but the lists are quite long and most of them end up being trialwares. So, I thought of asking the experts around for advice.

'A freeware with a lot of features'...I realize that I'm asking too much, but it's a possibility.


Thanks,
Navneeth

Hi Navneeth,

Thank you for sharing your experience with GraphCalc and your interest in finding other similar software. I can definitely recommend a few options for you to try out.

1. GeoGebra - This is a free and open-source software that offers both 2D and 3D graphing capabilities, as well as other features such as geometry, algebra, and calculus tools. It is widely used in schools and universities and is known for its user-friendly interface.

2. Desmos - This is a popular online graphing calculator that also has a mobile app version. It offers both 2D and 3D graphing, as well as advanced features like regression analysis and polar graphing.

3. Maxima - This is a powerful computer algebra system that also has graphing capabilities. It is open-source and can be downloaded for free. It may have a steeper learning curve compared to other options, but it offers a wide range of features and functions.

I hope these recommendations help you find a software that meets your needs and preferences. Happy graphing!
