Calc 5: Online 3D Calculator
Andrew of the calc5 team has announced Calc 5, an online calculator that plots graphs.
The tool uses canvas (or canvas emulation), and you can travel around the graphs a la Google Maps.
With calc5 you can plot 2d and 3d graphs, make symbolic calculations such as derivation, browse 2d graphs same way as you browse map in your favorite mapping service with zooming and panning.













Now this is where TECHNICAL vs PRACTICAL is successful.
Tools like these are useful, regardless of its technology behind it.
Very nice! Reminds me of Walter Zorn’s fn grapher.
Keep clicking the smoothness button, I great way to crash your browser :)
