Mac Utility, Grapher
What is this? You tell me to make a graph?
Mac Grapher
This utility give you the freedom to expand your creativity in graph. Mac can generate a 2D or even 3D, with the only requirement you provide them with valid math equation. Even though the wind is blowing on mathematicians, you still feel the coolness of the air.
Living Inside Utility
Grapher lives inside folder named Utilities. The full path of Mac Grapher is Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. It won't be so difficult to be found because it sits inside the same folder as well-known Mac utility, Terminal.
Graph 1. Rotating Object
Three variable equation leads to three-dimensional object. This object will be rotated continuously. Therefore, you will be able to easily observe the object created by you.
Graph 2. Writing Equation
Above the graph field, there is an equation bar in which the equation can be written. Even, if you notice, at the right-most of this bar, there is a symbol of sigma. It's actually a button that will open the Equation Palette when it's been clicked. To my surprise, it also supports the use of integral and differentiation.
Graph 3. Combining Equations
There is a button labeled + at the bottom-left corner of the graph pane. This button performs adding new equation line.
Graph 4. My Masterpiece
After seeing those, you will notice that I've no hope in mathematics.
