The math box can be used to select the data that is plotted. Equations can use any of the variables listed below, as well as any US census variables directly. Both standard arithmetic operators (+, -, *, and /) as well as many of the normal mathematical functions can be used.

We recommend checking out the "Sample Equations" section if you're not sure where to begin.
