March 31, 2012 at 00:22Google's math function graphs are now in 3D
Google search query: sqrt (x * x + y * y) + 3 * cos (sqrt (x * x + y * y)) + 5 from -20 to 20
Three months ago, Google learned how to plot math functions. Now added 3D animation (WebGL).
If someone does not support WebGL, here you can see how 3D graphics look (animated gif, 16 MB).
Wolfram Alpha, a scientific search engine, can also build 3D models (for example, this is the same function ), only there to display an interactive model you need to install a heavyweight browser plugin, while Google managed to implement it in WebGL.
Google encourages you to send them examples of interesting mathematical functions that you have obtained.
