Good Graphing Program for Semi-Logarithmic Functions

In summary, There are several suggested graphing programs for semi-logarithmic functions, including Winplot and NuCalc. Winplot is easy to download and can handle implicit functions, derivative fields, and 3-D equations. NuCalc is also recommended, but it is not free and may not be easily downloadable. Some users have found success with the free "lite" version of NuCalc.

Have you tried Winplot? I'm not sure about the semi-logarithmic functions, but it sure is easy to download. :biggrin:

I know that it does implicit functions, and derivative fields. It also plots 3-D equations.

Izzah did specify "easily downloadable" and NuCalc is not easily downloadable and it's not free either. They charge $100 for it and you don't even get a break on the upgrade (unless you bought VERY recently). Yes, it's neat but it's not quite the thing for serious analysis.

I downloaded the free "lite" version of it. It's in "Free Stuff" section. I love this app!
 

FAQ: Good Graphing Program for Semi-Logarithmic Functions

What is a semi-logarithmic function?
