Can you please suggest some good software to draw customized graphs like these?

PS:I am studying calculus (engineering degree) and would like to take notes on my pc, including customized graphs, about all the theorems I am learning (bolzano-weierstrass, Rolle, etc...).

Hope you can help.

Thanks.

NB: I am on windows, but can use linux software as well.

    $\begingroup$ this is not actually graph theory. (I wasn't sure whether to flag this for moderator attention; if a mod sees this, can you let me know?) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Not sure whether to flag it, but I have enough rep to retag stuff so I got rid of the graph-theory tag. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I do not understand how we can have 4 different questions on graphing software, and none of them have mentioned the same ones. See also (math.stackexchange.com/questions/26903/…) and (math.stackexchange.com/questions/55570/…). $\endgroup$

GeoGebra is easy to use, free, and the graphs look good.

  • $\begingroup$ @Eivind: I tried inputing this: $(x^2+y^2+z^2)^2=2z(x^2+y^2)$. Does it more than 3d graphing? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Cplayer: I have only used it for simple 2D graphing (for functions of one variable), and I don't think it can draw graphs of higher dimension. At least not the version I'm using. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ thanks for the suggestion, Eiving. so how can I draw the green curve, in my figure no.1 ? I can't find the right tool in geogebra. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @iAsk: At the bottom of the window, there is a line where you can write your function, for example $y=\cos (x)$. $\endgroup$

Try http://www.onlinefunctiongrapher.com/. You can customize your graphs there. Easy to use and free! unlike Mathematica or Mathlab. It is online so you don't have to worry about linux/windows shift.
