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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Gnuplot is a highly recommended software for graphing on PC, capable of plotting both 2D and 3D functions as well as data. Users can download the Windows binary from the gp43win32.zip package for easy installation. While Excel is another option, the user faced challenges in finding a straightforward installation file. Maxima was also mentioned, but it lacks the capability to graph polar equations directly.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of graphing concepts
  • Familiarity with Gnuplot software
  • Knowledge of Windows operating system for software installation
  • Experience with mathematical functions and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Download and install Gnuplot from the gp43win32.zip package
  • Explore Gnuplot documentation for advanced graphing techniques
  • Research how to graph polar equations in Maxima
  • Learn about data visualization techniques in Excel
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, educators, and professionals in mathematics or engineering who require efficient graphing solutions on PC.

Like, there are somethings that take too long to graph on ti-89, especially with accuracy. I would like to know how to use my PC to graph.

Thank you.

Gnuplot is free, easy and can plot 2d and 3d functions as well as data.
You could also use excel
 
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.
