Is there such a thing? If so, I'd like a link to the download site please. Preferably freeware. I just don't like searching the house for a graphing calculator when there's something MUCH better sitting in front of me, i.e. the computer.

I'm interested in this as well, not doing much calulus these days, but it would be cool to know about. Tell us how because I've never ever heard that before and I use Excel everyday.

That's what I tried and got nothing, I was just thinking if my Excel Specialist certificate was that useless.

I've used the powertoy calculator myself as well. It's OK, better than no graphing at all, but something just rubs me the wrong way about it...

Usually I use the plane graphic calculator (it's on other sites as well, just google for it) for graphing though.

There is one called graphcalc.

Just like holding a graphing calc in your hand, i used it for calculus assignments that i wasnt allowed to use it on when they made us hand in our caculators on take home assignments.
Muaha.lol

PM me if you want it. i might be able to find it.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try them out one by one... later. School's out. Haha, so I have better things to mess around with.
