Examples for
Plotting & Graphics
Plotting and graphing are methods of visualizing the behavior of mathematical functions. Use Wolfram|Alpha to generate plots of functions, equations and inequalities in one, two and three dimensions. Gain additional perspective by studying polar plots, parametric plots, contour plots, region plots and many other types of visualizations of the functions and equations of interest to you.
