wide web. It is actually a program that allows you to view any document that

a lot while still maintaining high quality. For these reasons it has become
very popular on the web. Some of the files on this CD are in pdf format and
you will need acrobat to view them. The Adobe home page can tell you more about

When the requirements of your computations exceed the
capabilities of your four-function figurer, turn to GraphCalc.
When you need to see what multiple compound exponential sinusoidal
waves look like, turn to GraphCalc. Haven't we all at some
point wanted to see what "sin(x)^2-3*ln(tan(x*pi))" looked
like, and the Windows calculator just wasn't up to the task?
GraphCalc can be your first, last, and only line of offense
against the mathematics that threaten to push you over the
brink of insanity. It slices, dices, shreds and purees functions
that leave other calculators wondering what hit them.
GraphCalc is an all-in-one solution to everything from
everyday arithmetic to statistical analysis, from betas to
Booleans, from cubes to calculus, from decimals to derivatives.
GraphCalc combines all the features of a professional mathematics
package with the simplicity of an easy to learn windows interface.
It provides user-friendly help and tutorials to guide you
through the easy and fun process of mastering GraphCalc.
