Google Math for Valentine’s

You may have noticed that you can type math equations directly into your Google search bar and get results. Mashable points out that this equation will give you a special result for Valentine’s Day:

sqrt(cos(x))cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5

And if you thought that was neat and want to try something else, plug this one into your search bar:

1.5sqrt(-abs(abs(x)-1)*abs(3-abs(x))/((abs(x)-1)*(3-abs(x))))(1+abs(abs(x)-3)/(abs(x)-3))sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)+(4.5+0.75(abs(x-.5)+abs(x+.5))-2.75(abs(x-.75)+abs(x+.75)))(1+abs(1-abs(x))/(1-abs(x))),-3sqrt(1-(x/7)^2)sqrt(abs(abs(x)-4)/(abs(x)-4)),abs(x/2)-0.0913722(x^2)-3+sqrt(1-(abs(abs(x)-2)-1)^2),(2.71052+(1.5-.5abs(x))-1.35526sqrt(4-(abs(x)-1)^2))sqrt(abs(abs(x)-1)/(abs(x)-1))

    Is this supposed to work on any browser? I can’t get it to have any impact on IE.8 (and don’t have any choice of browser at work.)

    It seems that it uses SVG to render the graph, and as I learn, “IE 9 is the first version of IE to support SVG.”

    FWIW, it works on Safari and Chrome on a Mac.

    Works on Chrome on a PC too.
