Staylor

Function: Finds a Taylor polynomial for an expression with respect to a specific variable.

Syntax: taylor (Exp/List, variable, order [,center point] [ ) ]

Example: To find a 5th order Taylor polynomial for sin(x) with respect to x = 0 (in the Radian mode)

Menu Item: [Action][Advanced][taylor]

• Zero is the default when you omit “[,center point]”.

S laplace, invLaplace

“laplace” is the command for the Laplace transform, and “invLaplace” is the command for the inverse of Laplace transform.

L[ f(t)](s)=0 f(t)estdt

Function:

The Laplace Transform is called “laplace” on the ClassPad.

The inverse of Laplace Transform is called “invLaplace” on the ClassPad.

Syntax: laplace(f(t), t, s)

f(t) -- expression

t-- variable with respect to which the expression is transformed s -- parameter of the transform

invLaplace(L(s), s, t) L(s) -- expression

s-- variable with respect to which the expression is transformed t -- parameter of the transform
