I haven't yet read all the mag-1104-mkiv.pdf where you explain some of them, but after modifying one of your examples, I noticed that some funtions get a strange graph, which is probably due to the fact that metafun2 is interpolating between points in a way which is not correct.

it doesn't, it just connects the dots, so, just use a smaller step, like

xstep = .01

(The upcoming luagraph module will provide some interpolators so at some 
point we can hook these in.)

(btw, there are a lot of extra math functions, also or complex numbers)
