Interesting--I had no idea, I thought it was based on the Pacific Tech 
app...or maybe that was bought by Arizona?

As I understand it, Grapher is based on Arizona application Curvus Pro

 This shows you one curve (a straight line). Then  
 - either select the line "n=1" and choose Equation -> Animate Parameter
- or choose Equation -> Create Animation  
Both work for me (but not with a range "n={0... [...]

Hi folks,  
I've poked around on the list archives, and I think I'm in the right 
place to ask this question, but forgive me if not; I'd appreciate any 
guidance you can give me. 

I'm trying to give myself some kind of a math (re-)education starting
