Windows Calculator adds Graphing mode (Build 19546)

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19546 has introduced Graphing mode in Windows Calculator. Adding support for graphing was one of the top feature requests in Feedback Hub. Graphing capabilities is essential for students who are beginning to explore linear algebra. Graphing mode will also help students to learn mathematics by improving their conceptual understanding and attitudes towards math.


Some of the features of Graphing mode:
Plot one or more equations on the graph: One can compare plots against each other and see interactions between the lines by entering multiple equations.One can also customize the line style and graph viewing window to suit their needs.

Add equations with variables: If you enter an equation with a secondary variable (e.g., “y = mx + b”), you’ll be able to easily manipulate those variables so that you can quickly understand how changes to the equation affect the graph.


 Graph analysis: Trace plots with your mouse or keyboard to better understand the relationship between variables in the equation on the graph.

One can check the Graphing mode from the Calculator's option. Its still in Preview. You have to update to the latest version of Windows Calculator from the Microsoft Store.
Developers can check out this project on GitHub.
