Excel or Libre Office Calc can do this.
|
|
|
|
|
Python Matplotlib Matplotlib — Visualization with Python [^] can do it for free.
By the way, am curious to know the name of the math book you're reading.
I have a small program (in JavaScript) to test our knowledge of Sines/Sinusoids - SineDrill [^]

It's free and way, way more feature rich than Excel or Calc. It has a steep learning curve with its built in command/scripting language but much easier than dealing with a library. Also, there are plenty of examples on their site to help you get started. It also has a ton of export formats, etc. I recently used it to analyze some data myself.
You can check out the demos to get an idea of what it can do and there are some YouTube tutorial vidoes to help get you started. Also, the video link covers plotting sine waves.

I'm now running MS Edge on my MacBook Pro M3 running Sonoma 14.4.1
I'm also running MS Edge on my desktop AMD R5 (12-core) running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
Also running it on my iPad (iOS) and I really like MS Edge so far.
Sharing history and links across devices is good (if you want to -- you don't have to).
I ran FireFox on all these devices but when I watched videos my Ubuntu desktop would lock sometimes -- became quite often.
Switched to Brave and had an odd issue.
Now I'm trying Edge and so far it's really nice.
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. I try to switch it up: use different OS, different search engine, different "office" suite. Mix it up a bit.
Have you tried Edge? It's better than I expected.
This message posted from MacBookPro and MS Edge.

Mandatory at work. Not bad, but still annoying from time to time. Specially the new side-frame that pops up when you klick a link in an email or in teams.
I have noticed the performance loss in FF too... really sad. Luckily still in a decent level for me.

The side frame popups can be turned off via Settings -> Sidebar.

For me at least it gets reactivated few days after. Not sure if domain policy or minor "updates"

Would be domain policy. I've never seen this reactivate - not saying Microsoft won't do this, just that I've never seen it occur.

I like Edge.
Only that it suddenly starts using the webcam on my laptop, as indicated by a pop up message "Edge is using your webcam". Covered my webcam camera with an opaque sticker.

That is a very odd behavior. I wonder what is causing that??

Maybe it has AI thing to detect whenever i get a little edgy (its Edge, isn't it), so as to switch on the webcam
|
|
|
|

I've noticed that it's only certain websites where it wants to turn on the webcam, like my bank. I assume it is the websites, not Edge. But I don't know why my bank thinks they need my webcam on.

If a website can enable turning on/off my webcam, its kindof dangerous, isn't it? Sometime back, it was reported that Alexa records private conversations even when turned off - this will become similar to that. Privacy issues.

MS Edge is built off of Chromium since about 2020. MS rips out the Google telemetry and installs their own.
If it works for Chrome it should work for Edge.
I am glad they finally sealed IE in its crypt.

Sad to say, some of the rendering that works in Chrome fails in Edge.
And Egde's integration with Windows and its accounts can be a headache (erased profiles, etc).

That's interesting...and not great. I will keep an eye out for it.

That sounds like par for the user account course. MS has never been great at managing user accounts. I remember having a seriously difficult situation with an XBox account that was all intermingled with another account. Very confusing. Hopefully they'll work it out soon.

I've only seen this on Google's own pages.

The vids on the SpaceX site also fail to load on Edge, for example.

Using it at work.
Used it at home, switched to Firefox.
All good and nice till an upgrade comes. There comes modal dialogs, sometimes Run as administrator modal dialogs.
Especially when you have to do something quick.
Unavoidable I have already answered questions like what to share, log in to link to the cloud, etc.
On W7, even more Run as administrator dialogs.
After fired up, a misclick and there comes the AI.
I have never tried vertical tabs or else because, like in Minesweeper, a lot of AI buttons are all around.

I dumped Firefox at home and at work after watching our Rapid7/InsightVM device report the same vulnerabilities in Firefox version after version.

Edge is my work browser, and I use it sometimes at home. The sync features work well ... the frequent pop-ups advertising various features also work well, despite my efforts to nuke them.
Try Vivaldi -- it's a Chrome clone that runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It's syncing works great, minus annoying popup and MS or Google telemetry.
I intend to test the DuckDuckGo browser, which runs on Android, iOS, MacOS, and Windows. No Linux.

Thanks for the tip. If Edge doesn't work out I will try that one out.
I've been looking for another browser besides the Big 3 (FF, Chrome, Edge).
In the distant past I used Opera, but haven't tried it in a while.

I keep FF installed as on occasion it's good for some things. I have Chrome installed on my work laptop as it's needed for testing, but haven't installed it on home desktop or laptop. Haven't tried Opera in years -- didn't like it last time, and just haven't bothered.
I'm considering DuckDuckGo for specific sites that do heavy tracking, e.g., FB, Google, Amazon. I like the idea of having them segregated from my other activities, although I have no idea at this point how useful that really is. But it's a thought.
--
Side thought for everyone -- periodically go through cookies and nuke anything that is either unwanted or ya have no idea what it is. Pour your favorite drink first, as it will take longer than expected.
Recently I went through saved PWD and nuked a bunch of 'em. I don't save PWD in the browser for anything that matters (no financial stuff!!) and use distinct PWD for all accounts, but it's a good idea to keep things cleaned up on a periodic basis.
It just occurred to me to install Chrome, just to see what Google has stored. I'll nuke it all, and hope for the best.

I still use Chrome on most of my devices (mac / windows)
Once in a while I try other browsers and they all feel clunky and I return to Chrome.
I might try edge on Mac
