"Problem" with the Equation Grapher.

[daon]

I was just fooling with it and it crashed on me. It seems that when you sleect a range that is "too small" it goes into an indefinite loop. I'm guessing I surpassed the minimum plotting interval? No worries, just making this known if it is not already.

To which equation grapher are you referring? The one at the link (in the "Math Help" pull-down menu at the top of each forum page) for "Equation Graphing Tool"?

Thank you.

Yes, that's the one. I cannot reproduce the error each time, but when using abnormally small ranges such as -10^-10 to 10^-10 it will freeze on me. I doubt the program was designed for such intervals anyway.

You're probably right.

I've seen that same sort of behaviour with other online graphing tools. As long as you do "regular" stuff (stuff kids commonly see in textbooks), you're okay. But if you try anything fancy, the tool can choke.

Thank you for the advisory!
