I am a physics major in college and still haven't been able to find a comparable calculator to easycalc on the PPC platform.


Does anyone know of any calculators that do symbolic manipulation along with easy to use graphing (color, draggable, and the like)?

This is my main frustration with my PPC... I still have to lug the palm around for a calculator

I have tried formulae 1, emulators (hp), power one, etc...

Ehrrr.....calculator is the last thing you want to worry in PPC.


Simple symbolic calculator

Scheme

Maxima for CE. (warning, this industrial strength software is BIG, takes 2 minutes just to load the engine)

There are also HP48G emulator, and TI-89 port is on the progress. (search the net)
plus there are also the usual mickey mouse calculator like you've just mention, some are quite big and elaborate.

I've used the saltire Xpander software (slow, and does derivations wrong), I've also used the hp stuff (incredibly slow)

easycalc is FAR from mickey mouse! many use it to replace their ti92's, and its freeware! Sorry, I've got to defend my old friend. =)

A port of Maple of Mathematica would be nice.

easy calc is Mickey mouse jees.......
put on GnuPlot and Maxima if you need math tool. Maxima will kill Maple any day of the week.

but anyway here is another mickey mouse calculator if you want the same as easy calc

What derivation did the saltire answer wrong?
