- I'm looking for a shareware or public domain graphics calculator package
- for MS-DOS machines.
-
- The intended target audience is high school or early college level kids
- taking math courses where one needs to graph misc functions. My current
- package "funcplot", written by a now graduated student here, is unusable
- since I acquired an HP IIP laser jet. Ease of use is important. The package
- need not support the more esoteric functions: sin, cos, log, exp, and
- polynomials are probably good enough. (anyone out there ever use Hankel
- functions?). The basic mode of operation desired is to enter the function,
- select min and max values of x and y, number of points, see the result
- on the monitor, and be able to dump to a Laser Jet printer (with 2.5mb mem)
- .
-
- Does anyone have an suggestions?
- Thanks for your nethelp, Ron Sidwell
