I find the NumWorks to be a lovely little calculator but Omega really needs to provide some serious symbolic (i.e. ‘CAS’) functionality. It’s all fair and square that the official Epsilon firmware doesn’t feature CAS to appease the examination boards, but it’s a feature that is pretty key for a more sophisticated crowd. No algebraic computation? No symbolic differentiation and integration?! That’s really quite disappointing.
- boricj 6y agoThere is support for giac as an external app, the port is named KhiCAS. Flash a firmware with external app support (Omega typically) and then use https://zardam.github.io/nw-external-apps/ https://zardam.github.io/nw-external-apps/ to transfer apps. Right now the current external app system is a glorified proof-of-concept when compared to the TI/Casio ecosystem, but it does work. One cannot distribute epsilon with giac integrated since their licenses are incompatible (GPL3 vs CC-BY-NC-SA), hence the external app workaround. NumWorks could negotiate a commercial license, but there has been no sign of this so far.
