An online calculator for integrals and taylor series...

[Martin]

I found one the other day on my friend's computer...but I can't remember the URL now and I can't find it...


basicly, I need a calculator that will evaluate a definite and indefinite integral and find the taylor expansion of a function.



thanks...

edit, I found it...thought I'd let everyone else know about it...

The integrator from Wolfram will do integrals. Don't think it will do Taylor series though.

I found it


This is actually a very cool and useful utility.....

Hmmmmm....

And.... Uh - there ya go - ya got it already!

i usually use maple math software.

heh, can't argue with that

I can. Calculus is easy. Quantum mechanics -- now that is the devil.

calculus was simple.

Maple rocks as long as you have a newer version. Some of my graphs for calc 3 (for peopel whose classes are different, it's just calc with more than two variables) get hung up when I try to increase the number of points it graphs so that I get higher detail. I walked away for 15 minutes and came back with Windows trying to increase my pagefile, and having all my memory used. Walked away for 20 more minutes and it was still going. Had to force it shut, and lost all my homework =(.

calculus is easy.

i just hate it.

i like more theoretical stuff.

on another note, what is the POINT of taylor series and determining if a series/sequence convegres or not?

AFAIK, its how calculators and computers do math, since they can only work with polynomials and not with transcendental functions like sin or e^x. Also, I think they're used to approximate functions which have no integrals, I am not sure though...

Exactly what they're used for.
