Use Microsoft Excel (or any other spreadsheet program), you can use it to graph functions. Make one column to represent the x-values (starting from say -100 to 100 with increments of 1.0), using autofill. Then make another column next to it for the y values by inserting a formula (Insert -> Function). Then fill the y column down, and graph it by selecting the whole y column and going to Insert -> Graph. It really helped me for graphing in Yr12.

ultimate program for it - also very small d/l size

allows u to graph just about anything you would need within the 4u course. Also can graph 3-dim.

I used this, everyone use it, it rocks.
