Enter equations into one or both of the provided slots. (For instance, you might try x*y^2 = x^2 -2*y*sin(y).) The draw button plots the equations you have entered. clear clears the screen. After using clear or after rescaling the graphics with window, you must use draw again to plot the equations.
The method used to solve equations is the bisection method which relies on finding sign changes for f-g. The mesh number controls how hard the program works in order to find sign changes; the bigger the number, ther harder the work and the slower it goes.
The zoom selection controls whether zooms go in or out.
