Visit the
LiveMathBoard to discuss mathematics using LiveMath.
When you load a LiveMath page, you can explore expressions and graphs by
using the icons displayed. Sometimes the icons have been hidden in order to
make the display simpler.
 |
The Edit
icon indicates an equation that you can edit. Click in the equation and
then change it.

This
icon indicates an equation that you cannot edit. It has been obtained
from a previous expression.

Click on
the Knife icon to pick up the knife (the cursor becomes a knife). Click and
drag across a rectangular portion of the graph to look at just that part. The
portion of the graph you select can be most of the plot or just a tiny portion.
Using the Knife changes the values of the graphs bounds.

Click on
the Rocketship icon to zoom out (from the center of the viewport) by a
factor of two. After a moment, the graph redraws. To zoom by more than a factor
of two, click the icon repeatedly and quickly. To zoom by a factor of 1000,
click ten times.
|
 |
Click on
the dense grid icon to increase the data points used to create the plots in
the graph by (approximately) a factor of two. Click on the open grid
icon to (approximately) halve the number of data points. The more data points
used, the smoother the curved line(s), and the longer it takes to generate the
image. Plot resolution is not reflected in the graph details. |
