SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the use of the ImplicitPlot function in Mathematica, specifically highlighting its obsolescence in version 8.0. Users are advised to utilize the ContourPlot function as a replacement for ImplicitPlot. Additionally, it is emphasized that the correct syntax for the ImplicitPlot command requires the use of backticks (`) instead of single quotes ('). To prevent output from displaying after execution, users should end command lines with a semicolon (;).

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Mathematica 8.0 syntax
  • Understanding of plotting functions in Mathematica
  • Knowledge of using ContourPlot for implicit functions
  • Basic command line execution in Mathematica
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the differences between ImplicitPlot and ContourPlot in Mathematica
  • Learn advanced plotting techniques in Mathematica 8.0
  • Explore the use of backticks in Mathematica for proper syntax
  • Investigate best practices for command line execution in Mathematica
USEFUL FOR

Mathematica users, educators, and students looking to enhance their plotting capabilities and understand the transition from ImplicitPlot to ContourPlot in version 8.0.

For starters, the call for Implicit plot should be

Code: 
<< Graphics `ImplicitPlot`

Note that the "quotes" are angled differently (you should be using the key right next to 1 on the top of your keyboard; it gives ` instead of '). I would also recommend ending command lines with ; if you don't want them to individually appear once you execute them (i.e. it hides the output).

Also, ImplicitPlot is obsolete in Mathematica 8; the ContourPlot option does what ImplicitPlot used to do. Here's what I get now:
