If it runs Python, then couldn’t you use SymPy as a CAS (in addition to NumPy, seaborn, etc. for numerical computing / visualization)?
By the way, I like the idea of this calculator and hope to see more like it. I think something that combined this with ideas from WolframAlpha (natural language CAS, problem explainers and expanders) and Khan Academy (spaced repetition, gamification of learning, progression of tutorial videos, practice and diagnostic problems) would be really powerful. In fact I became temporarily obsessed with the idea of creating this sort of calculator >10 years ago when taking multivariate calculus and struggling to visualize or understand the problems. Yes, you could always use a computer/tablet/phone, but as someone who struggles with ADD, there is a lot to be said for using a constrained learning tool, so that the versatile (read: distracting) devices can be put out of sight during dedicated study time.
- Avamander 7y agoI seriously hope someone puts all these tools together in a single package that doesn't force you to get distracted with programming, I don't want to really do more than for example enter "y=x^2" and press "Graph", advanced features can left for later. Kinda like how I don't find a phone a calculator but know it can do so, the default isn't calculating numbers.

- colejohnson66 7y agoThere’s also Maxima[0] which is written in Common Lisp. Not sure how well it would run on an M4 though. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_(software)
