derivatives and indefinate integrals
Message #1 Posted by Jeff_G on 15 Mar 2002, 7:38 a.m.

Are there any calulators for calculus that can solve indefinate integrals, or perform differentiation?

I'm looking to input a function and get the result as a function, not as a value.

Thanks,

Jeff

four come to mind.

Hp49G Ti-89 Hp48G series (nearly = to 49g with free software) Casio FX 2.0

There might be others I have overlooked, perhaps Sharp also has a CAS type calc available.

As Ron's response indicates (and I learned), there are calculators that return functions for derivatives and indefinite integrals, although IMHO if you're going to do this, give it up and use Mathematica. You'll be glad you did.

Best regards,

I IMHO would definitely recommend the 49G, though the 48 series are very good for that but much slower.
