On a Mac, there is a Grapher.app which has many functions like: ordinary graphing, polar graphing, lin-log and log-log graphing, 3d graphing, derivatives, integrals, implicitly defined functions, equation solvers and much much more.

Is there anything similar (and preferably cheap/free) on Windows? I've seen many ordinary "graphing calculator" apps that can't do much more than graphing an ordinary function like y=3x^2.

I especially need the implicitly defined function grapher so I can graph 4y^2-5*e^(-2x)-x*y=4?

I've tried Wolfram Alpha, but I need to see more than the limited window it gives me.

After a little searching I found the free Microsoft Mathematics which does a lot of the stuff I was looking for.

With the Mathematics 4.0 free download, you get a full-featured graphing calculator with a formulas and equations library, a triangle solver, a unit conversion tool, ink handwriting support, and more.

In case anyone stumbles across this question, like I did:

Try Graph by Ivan Johansen. You can find the newest version (as well as the source code) at .

Winplot is the best free graphing software for Windows that I'm aware of: Winplot. Indeed, I came to this question because I'm looking for something for a Mac that will do as much as Winplot does (Grapher has some things it does better, but other things Winplot does and Grapher doesn't do).

There's the Graphing Calculator that came with Macs before Grapher was introduced (in 10.3). It's sorta expensive (at $100) but really easy to use and powerful.
