xFunction is a local copy of a popular graphing tool. You can use it to:
  • graph function and parametric curves, and evaluate points of interest
  • animate graphs to observe their properties.
  • compare functions with their first and second derivatives
  • approximate areas under curves
  • compare integrals with upper and lower approximating sums
  • 3D graphs, etc
It was developed by David Eck and you can download your own copy from his homepage (250KB).
