Here is a tutorial that introduces you to the Grapher utility application in Mac OS X, which is a tool useful for graphing mathematical functions, in the same vein as MATLAB (see also Freemat, a MATLAB clone, Primer Tutorial).
Grapher is a software program bundled with Mac OS X since version 10.4 that is able to create 2D and 3D graphs from simple and complex equations. It includes a variety of samples ranging from differential equations to 3D-rendered Toroids and Lorenz attractors. It is also capable of dealing with functions and compositions of them. One can edit the appearance of graphs by changing line colors, adding patterns to rendered surfaces, adding comments, and changing fonts and styles used to display them. Grapher is able to create animations of graphs by changing constants or rotating them in space.
Let’s see some simple Grapher application usage in Mac OS X.
