Plots

Plots is an open-source application for Linux that helps users visualise mathematical formulae. It belongs to the education category and is intended for people who need to explore mathematical relationships through graphical representations. The program provides a way to work with formulas beyond simple written calculations.

Its expression support includes basic arithmetic, trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. It also handles arbitrary sums and products, allowing users to represent more general mathematical expressions. Plots can display polar equations as well as implicit and explicit Cartesian equations. These options make it suitable for examining different ways of describing curves and relationships.

Plots is designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop. It uses OpenGL to take advantage of modern hardware when rendering its visualisations. This gives the application a clear fit within Linux education software intended for graphical mathematical work.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Plots build directly on its own storage. Before publishing it, MirrorNest scans the mirrored build for malware. Users browsing the Linux education section can therefore find the official open-source application through a catalog distribution that preserves the project’s original build.
