Plotting Piecewise Functions in Python and Matplotlib the Elegant Way, Part 2

In the previous article about piecewise functions, we talked about how to plot a piecewise function in Python using the Matplotlib library. In this article, we will discuss how a more advanced approach will allow us to adjust parameters on a piecewise plot. We will draw on the previous example of visualizing the federal tax brackets and dive into how...

Plotting Piecewise Functions in Python and Matplotlib the Elegant Way

Piecewise functions are mathematical functions that are defined by different expressions or formulas for different intervals or domains. These functions are commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, physics, and engineering to model complex systems or phenomena. In this article, we will explore how to plot piecewise functions using Python and the Numpy and Matplotlib libraries. Let us take...
