comment Symbolic derivative of $n$-term product
@DanielLichtblau Actually, this condition is easy to see from the expression for the derivative when $n=1$, so maybe I can set up an induction..

@DanielLichtblau: Yes, that's my guess too.

comment How to translate interactive graphics from Mathematica to standard HTML+SVG?
Even if CDF weren't a proprietary technology belonging to WRI (in contrast, e.g., to HTML + SVG), the fact that, AFAIK, it requires downloading and installing a separate viewer is a deal-breaker for the type of use cases I'm interested in at the moment. I confess that I don't know much about webMathematica, except that using it requires giving WRI more money... (I gave up trying to get the straight scoop on webMathematica after following one-too-many hyperlink to a sales-hype-filled page.)

@cormullion: I can't come up with a quick and non-controversial answer to your question... :)

@Mr.Wizard: That link leads to quite a lode of insight on Plot's ways... Thanks!

I don't know much about SVG yet, but my impressions about it so far are consistent with your comments. Namely, SVG provides the graphics primitives, but there do not seem be any decent libraries (in JavaScript or anything else) to support higher-level programming of SVG-based plots.

"Whatever your approach, you'd certainly need a good library of special functions and tools to solve equations involving these over entire intervals" Well, a point to such a library was one of the types of answers I was hoping for... Thanks for the nice example, BTW!

@belisarius: Yeah, that's what I was alluding to with my opening parenthetical remark... Your comment basically tells me that, yep, my question was pretty naive... I guess I was hoping to find something like "Mathematica's algorithm is based on a fourth-order Craske-Trump adaptive bisection algorithm, but it has been enhanced with many proprietary modifications..."

@belisarius: interesting trick, thanks, but I confess that I don't feel much more capable of guessing Mathematica's algorithm for generating the mesh than I was before...

@Ajasja: That's precisely one of the options I was trying to exclude with the "non-propietary" qualifier...
