Is there such software, that I can use the PC for graphing?

AI Thread Summary
Graphing complex functions can be time-consuming on the TI-89 calculator, leading users to seek alternatives on PC. Gnuplot is recommended as a free and user-friendly option for plotting both 2D and 3D functions, as well as data. While Excel is another potential tool, users may encounter difficulties in finding a straightforward installation file for Windows. Maxima is also mentioned, but it lacks an option for graphing polar equations, limiting its functionality for some users. For Windows users, downloading the Gnuplot gp43win32.zip package is suggested for an efficient graphing solution.

Thank you.

I downloaded it, but only the source code. Can't find a windows-dumbed down .exe installation file. I don't have much time to compile and all that :(
 
I just installed Maxima. I can't find the option to graph polar equations, just regular, parametric, and discrete.

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
