Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about free math programs suitable for writing formulas and graphing for a project.
  • Another participant suggests using Maxima as a potential solution.
  • A different participant clarifies the need for a program that focuses on writing formulas with mathematical symbols rather than computational capabilities.
  • One participant proposes learning LaTeX as a viable option, mentioning the availability of online compilers for occasional use.
  • The original poster expresses gratitude and confirms that LaTeX is the solution they were seeking.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that LaTeX is a suitable tool for the needs expressed, but there are multiple suggestions regarding different programs, indicating a variety of perspectives on the best approach.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the specific requirements for the project and the level of familiarity with the suggested tools are not fully articulated.

Does ne1 know of any free math programs that write formulas and make graphs? I need one for a project I'm working on.

Try Maxima.
 
I don't need something that's computational but more of something that can write formulas using integral signs, square root signs, etc. to show steps for my project.
 
Do you just mean learning Latex? There are lots of online compliers for it too, if you don't want to use it often - just google for them.
 
Yes, thank you, that is what I was looking for.
