Yeah no, please tell me when they figure out a good calculator software that can replace my TI-nspire CX CAS.
It has a pretty powerful symbolic math engine that is pretty insanely powerful and it might as well be considered cheating. Difficulty of integrals is limited by how fast I can type it in my calculator.
But the problem is the keyboard sucks ass (because stupid SAT requirements) and programming it is also hard. I want something that is free or pretty cheap (I can see myself paying 50 bucks for this) that has a nice symbolic + numerical math engine (fuck you SymPy you suck ass) and has textbook-style symbolic math entry (so integrals look like long S's and not Integral[]).
I think MathCAD comes close but its symbolic math is a little suboptimal.
It's fucked up when the best thing that matches these requirements is the official emulator for TI-nspire cx cas that you get a license for when you buy the calculator.
I might make my own but making a full math engine sounds like a huge project (considering SymPy is nothing short of a disgrace)
- hatsunearu 7y agoDesmos seems pretty nice. https://www.desmos.com/calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator Things like this has already existed for a very long time though. Like Grapher in Mac OS. When will some galaxy brain disrupt the market for high end math software like Mathematica and others? It's 2019 and I should not be doing integrals and symbolic manipulation on paper. At least outside of school.
