Software for creating mathematical graphs

basty · Aug 20, 2015

I wonder what is the software to create math graph such as below image?

Grid of five labelled graphs: y = (1/30)x(39 - 10x^2 + x^4) with points plotted; a parabola showing y-axis symmetry with points (-x, y) and (x, y); y = 2x^3 - x through (-1, -1) and (1, 1); x - y^2 = 1 with x-intercept at (1, 0); and x - y = 1 with x^2 - y = 3 meeting at (-1, -2) and (2, 1).

I would use a combination of plotting tool, e.g. gnuplot, and vector graphic tool, e.g. xfig, inkscape, corel draw. Then you export the image to any format you need.

LE: You can also use more sophisticated data plotting tools like OriginLab/IDL/PAW or alternatives.

Checkout FreeMat. Its a MATLAB clone that should be able to easily generate these graphs. Of course, you can use MATLAB too but it costs money whereas fremat is free.
