Calculus
Function plotting
Plots a function together with its derivative. First, change the function term in the text box. Second, click on "plot". This is just a simple example to show the concept of interaction. It is not recommended, because the user - has to supply JavaScript code (`(x) => Math.cos(x)` instead of math syntax (`cos(x)` - is allowed to input arbitrary JavaScript code which may pose a security risk. See "self-contained function plotting" as an alternative.
