Hello guys, did you know any free program to plot vector functions? like this one: r(t) = (2cos(t), 2sin(t))
The discussion revolves around finding free programs to plot vector functions, specifically the example r(t) = (2cos(t), 2sin(t)). Participants explore various software options and commands for plotting both 2D and 3D vector functions, with a focus on usability for calculus studies.
Participants share various software options and commands, but there is no consensus on a single best solution, as different needs and preferences are expressed.
Some participants seek interactive capabilities for 3D plotting, while others focus on simpler 2D representations. The discussion includes specific commands for Mathematica but does not resolve the challenges faced by users.
Individuals looking for free software to plot vector functions, especially students studying calculus or related fields.
MarkFL said:Try entering:
r(t)=<2cos(t),2sin(t)>
at wolfram alpha:
Wolfram|Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine
It will give you plots of the components, and a parametric plot, as well as the vector length.
