Parsing equations
 

I am thinking about creating a graphing utility, and I need to be able to parse mathematical equations. How would I go about doing this? Is there any good tutorials\books on the subject?

Thanks in advance

This might be useless, but there's a great, fully featured, calculator for Linux called qalculate and it's built using the libqalculate library which (AFAIK) specializes in parsing math expressions. There might be better solutions, but I don't know of them.

The API reference for the library is here.
