Introduction to Plots - Mathematica & the Wolfram Language

Mathematica Essentials - the first PRO COURSE from Socratica

Learn along with free Mathematica notebooks available on github:

In this video, we introduce how to create plots in Mathematica. The main tool is the Plot function. There are many options to customize the styling of plots, including the aspect ratio, spacing of tick marks or grid marks, colors, and more. There's a lot more to talk about when it comes to plots, but this is a quick intro to get you familiar with the essentials.
