Abstract: Abstract In this paper we present a client/server plotting system for analytical functions that features a reliable computation and visualization of singularities. The system is part of a Web-based course on Mathematics for first-year students at the University of Tübingen. In an educational context where students of the first or second semesters are addressed, it is crucial that the plotted graphs are correct, since the students may not yet be able to interpret faulty graphs in an appropriate way. The singularities are computed by a computer algebra system which is transparently accessible through a Web interface. Our implementation of the singularity computations is more complete than the existing ones that we found as parts of various algebra systems. The rendering of the graphs and the visualization of the singularities is performed by a Java applet which can be executed within almost all of the current Javaaware Web browsers. No additional software, like plug-ins or proprietary browser extensions, has to be installed on the client machine.
