Hello, Is anyone on this list using Windows 95? Does your school have machines with Windows 95 installed in public labs? We are currently developing Graphing...
Hi Ron I am not using windows 95 at home. Some of our machines at school are windows 95 but not that many. I am certain that the number of such machines will...

Hello, I'm teaching Calculus II for the first time in a few years and the new textbook (Varberg) has some technology projects for the student to chew on. I'd...
Hello, GC is not well suited to this problem. GC does well plotting smooth curves, but has trouble with curves which have corners (first derivative ...
Here are two quick and easy graphs that have been effective teaching aids for me this year. In the first graph there are 3 equations: z = 2?(x^2 + y^2) z =...
You should be able to read it now. Sorry about the first attempt. Here are two quick and easy graphs that have been effective teaching aids for me this year. ...
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. Richard....

This works with Graphing calculator 3.2b7. I'll try to demonstrate the electric field of two point charges in two dimensions. Let b and c be point charges and...
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I found the graphics more pleasing if expressed in cylindrical coordinates. I also suggest you view the results with...

Just curious, does Graphing Calculator leverage the altivec instructions in the G4, or does it run just as well on the G3? Is the processor speed the main...
Unless my eyes deceive me, I've seen a noticeable slowing in GC since Ron began developing the Windows equivalent. I recall him saying earlier that he had to...

... No. ... Well, that depends a little, but basically no. The G4 has a faster floating point unit than the G3. ... Sort of, but it really depends a lot on...
Ron, I wouldn't bother with Windows 95. There are a minimal number of PCs in our district running Windows 95. Most are 98, 2000, or XP. Jim ... labs? ... ...

This is almost certainly a vicious rumor. Nonetheless, it remains a bummer that Ron has decided to switch exclusively to Windows development. David Craig ...
I want my OS X compatibility. It can't take that long to port this software. Lord knows it would probably run ten times better under OSX anyway. Later, Richard...
... So do I, but Ron has emphatically indicated that this is not going to happen -- has said he just doesn't have the resources. Classic, engineering marvel...
Ron, Thanks so much for putting together such an incredible program. The options that are available here blow away those with NuCalc 2.0. This is the perfect...
I'm delighted to see GC getting exposure to Windows users and therefore to a tremendously expanded group of math students. I hope Windows users appreciate that...

I'm wondering if it would be possible for Ron (or someone) to Carbonize what (t)he(y) can, and leave the tough stuff for later (3D as I understand it). Yeah,...
