Recommended Free Mathematics Software

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended free mathematics software, specifically highlighting KnotPlot for its 3D graphing capabilities and ease of use. Users seek tools that allow for conditional intervals in 3D graphs, with GraphCalc mentioned as a potential option. A specific example is provided, where the user wants to restrict the 3D image of the function y(x,z) = zcos(zx) based on the condition |zx| ≤ π/2. The conversation emphasizes the need for software that can handle such conditional graphing effectively.

What free mathematics software do you use regularly or recommend for uniqueness ?
I use http://www.cs.ubc.ca/nest/imager/contributions/scharein/KnotPlot.html for quick graph checks or trivial numeric evaluation/integration. That it allows easy mouse-controlled rotation of 3-d surfaces is a welcome bonus.
What do you recommend ?

Edit: Whoops. Moderators feel free to move this to software.

GraphCalc is good, but what if I want a conditional interval for my 3D graph?
For example, for y\left( {x,z} \right) = z\cos \left( {zx} \right) , suppose I want to restrict the 3D image for values of x and z that will satisfy \left| {zx} \right| \leqslant \frac{\pi }{2}

I can modify a window, but what if I want to set up this conditional interval ? (see Only the x and z values satisfying the condition, not the rest of the graph)

Check out this page, and note that your equation under your condition can be translated to z(x,y) = y*cos(y*x)*(abs(x*y) <= (Math|pi)/2) . :smile:
