Graphing Technology

• You will need to have access to graphing technology one way or another for this class. (We will not be using any graphing technology during exams, however.)
  • If you have one, a graphing calculator is fine.
  • The on-line graphing site Desmos is excellent.
  • The on-line search engine WolframAlpha does much more than just graphing. It is fine for graphing. As for the rest of what it can do, see specifics in the hw guidelines linked to above.
