heres the same thing on desmos, my favorite free graphing calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lvespenn07

Desmos is the best thing ever! I'm certain I would not have passed Calc without it. I always struggled with math and put it off till the last year of grad school (funny enough, you can get into grad school for CS without it).

I only ended up doing calc because with it work could pay me ~$20k more.

I can't believe any respectable school would let in a CS grad student without calculus. Linear algebra is really important, too, but you have to know calculus to do much of the math behind circuits. Good for you for doing it even though it wasn't required.

I'd be surprised if many CS degrees (as opposed to CE) had a circuits course. But I agree that calculus would be a surprising omission.

Thanks for sharing!

I turned those functions into an area: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ya8gxv1hzo

well done! I didn't know you could do that.
