All students have access to the Internet in the Library, which at Northridge is in the middle of the second floor of Building 1000. If you're new to computers or the Internet, there will be someone at that location who can help you get started.

Web Page Function Graphers

Java Function Grapher works within your browser. To enter a function, don't type "y=" or "f(x)="; just type the function's formula. There is no "Print" feature. If you want to print a graph, you'll first have to do a "Screen Capture" or a "Print Screen." Fairly fast and very convenient.

If you look at the above images from within a foot or two of your computer screen, Mr. Angry is on the left, and Mr.Calm is on the right.
Move 12 feet away from your screen and look at the images. Presto! They switch places!!
Hmmmmm. Maybe seeing shouldn't be believing.
This illusion is credited to Phillippe G.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow .
