Abstract
Technology is described herein for quickly, efficiently and accurately rendering a plot of the mathematical function within an interactive graph on a web page, such as a search results web page. The technology includes determining a sampling resolution indicating the points of the mathematical function to be plotted within a display region of the plot. The sampling resolution includes a higher number of sample points in sections of the mathematical function with function values that change considerably, and includes a lower number of sample points in sections with function values that change slightly. The interactive graph provides the user with a rich interactive experience that facilitates and encourages the user's understanding of mathematical concepts and underlying principles.
