Info
Zap-a-Graph is a graphing program for use in the teaching and learning of high school mathematics and Calculus. Zap-a-Graph has wide applicability at several grade levels and can be used to advantage in either a lab setting or on a single computer with an overhead projection device at the front of the classroom. Some of Zap-a-Graph's unique features include the ability to transform any relation, take the nth derivative of any function, and compose any two functions in nine different ways. The results may themselves be transformed, derived or composed. All this without typing any equations or commands!
