Description:
ABAKUS is a computer algebra program which performs not only arithmetic but even symbolic calculations of mathematical formulas.
The current Palm version 1.2 contains the following functions:
Transforming mathematical formulas:
- Simplify, multiply, and factorize formulas; building the common denominator
- Normalize and divide polynomials; separate into partial fractions
Discussing mathematical functions:
- Differentiation, integration (even with solution steps).
ABAKUS-DIFF is a free version of ABAKUS with restricted functionality: You can calculate the derivative of mathematical functions.
For example, the input "x*sin(x)" with variable "x" yields the output "sin(x)+x*cos(x)".
Moreover, ABAKUS contains a special editor for mathematical formulas. So you can enter even complex expressions very fast.
At the moment, the following functions are supported:
- sin,cos,tan,cot (trigonometric functions),
- arcsin,arccos,arctan,arccot (inverse trigonometric func.s),
- sinh,cosh,tanh,coth (hyperbolic functions),
- arsinh,arcosh,artanh,arcoth (inverse hyperbolic functions),
- sqrt (square root),
- crt (cubic root),
- exp (exponential function),
- ln (natural logarithm),
- abs (Betrags function),
- sgn (signum function).
Feasible operators are "+" (addition), "-" (subtraction), "*" (multiplication), "/" (division), and "^" or "**" (power).
Finally you can calculate not only single derivatives but even multiple derivatives by entering only one command.
