I'm currently working on an Internal Assessment for IB in Calculus and I need to make printable graphs of some exponential functions. I know Graphmatica works well for this purpose, but only on Windows. Anyone know of an OS X app to do this with?

Can't you use Excel?

I'd use Maple or Mathematica to print out those functions, but since both software packages are rather expensive, I suggest that you try using Graphing Calculator in your 'Applications (Mac OS 9)' folder first.

There are lots of graphing programs available. Aside from the big, expensive ones, there are also lots of free ones like R or octave. If you want a very easy-to-use one, try Graph-O-Matic.

I am going to write a graphing program that imports excel sheets. I haven't had to deal with Calculus since Cal 3 four years ago! I wonder if I still remember any of it...

Mathematica gets my vote.
