For help with mathematical questions arising from software such as Maple, MATLAB, Mathcad, Pari/GP, R, and the WolframAlpha website, etc. Consider posting questions about Mathematica at the Mathematica StackExchange instead. For GAP, SAGE, and MAGMA, one might use tags (computer-algebra-systems), (gap), (sage), (magma-cas).

Software for plotting graphs for functions with cases
In which software it will be easy to plot the graph of functions like $$f_{2^n+j}(x)=\begin{cases}0, x\in [\frac{j}{2^n},\frac{j+1}{2^n}]\\1, x\in x<\frac{j}{2^n} \text{ or } x>\frac{j+1}{2^n}\end{cases}$$?

Program for graphing special functions, such as $f(x)=\begin{cases}1,&\text{if }x\in\mathbb Q\\ 0,&\text{if }x\notin\mathbb Q\end{cases}$
My question is based on the fact that if there is any special program, that allows to graph certain peculiar functions such as the following, $$f(x)=\begin{cases}
1, & \text{ if } x\in\mathbb Q; \\
0, & \text{ if } x\notin \mathbb Q.…

Trick to fix gst rounding issue -- why does it work?
In our system, we store prices ex-gst (without gst) and not inc-gst (with gst).The gst in my country is 10%.
For example, if a product has an inc-gst price of $9.95, we store it as $9.05. The $9.05 is calculated like this:
$9.95/1.1 =…
