Function Plot Tutorial

Traditional spreadsheets allow Charts to be plotted based on a set of numerical Data. When a mathematical function is to be plotted, sometimes a large number of data is needed to visualize the function properly. For example, try to plot the following function in Excel f(x)=sin(exp(x)).


USolver allows you to plot both Mathematical Functions and Numerical Data. In the following We will plot an interactive "Sinusoidal Wave" and allow the viewer to change variables to display the dependence of the wave on such independent variables.

The general equation of a sinusoidal wave is given by:

y = A * sin((x - C) + D)

where A, B, C, and D are constants and

A = amplitude
B = is an input to the wave period (= 2 * pi() / B)
C = phase shift
D = vertical shift

A Live Example and a Tutorial to build it in USolver is seen below
