Hi Mel

the function itself is outside my experience of excel, but i would think it
might be possible - i would suggest posting the function and the question in
microsoft.public.excel.charting or go check out Jon Peltier's site for info
on graphs - http://www.peltiertech.com/

Cheers

Julie:

Can I do a function like y = f(x) (eg: y = ln(x)*sin(x) + x^2 ) and have
Excel graph it??

I didn't know it could do that

would be interested in your reasons as to why you don't think a graph in
excel would suit your needs?
excel draws graphs (huge variety of them) / is easy to use (you can
create a graph with one keystroke - i'm not sure how much easier you
could want) and can be copied and pasted (or linked) into word again with
only a couple of keystrokes.

I teach math and really like Math Type in conjunction with WORD to

tests.


But, I would also like to create a graph and incorporate it into my
test.doc

(I can do straight lines via Geometers Sketchpad, but I'm not sure how
to
use that program to do other graphs).

I have a "powertoy graphing calculator" program that works well but I
cannot
copy that screen.

SO, bottom line: does anyone know of a program (there must be plenty
out
there) that will draw graphs, is easy to use, and most important I
need to
be able to copy the graph into my .doc.?
