If so how would you do that. I tried making some data items, x and y,
in two columns and linking chart to the two columns - but it simply
joins the co-ordinates, eg is not smooth - and the placing of the x
and y axes is wrong. Is this they way to do it? Is there another
way?

Have you tried changing the graph type? there are several that do draw
curves through the points. Right click on the chart, click chart type..try
XYscatter

It isn't exactly clear what you want to do when you say "display
mathematical equations". If your aim is simply to illustrate graphs
of various types to students in a classroom then there are all sorts
of ways to make interactive graphs which will show the effect of, say,
changing the coefficients in y = Ax^2 + Bx + C. See
http://pt3.wikispaces.com/file/view/Interactive_Graphs.pdf for a
simple example.

Email me if you are interested. I have many examples. xt
