Calculus Applications
In this Chapter we discuss applications of the calculator’s functions to operations related to Calculus, e.g., limits, derivatives, integrals, power series, etc.
The CALC (Calculus) menuMany of the functions presented in this Chapter are contained in the calculator’s CALC menu, available through the keystroke sequence „Ö (associated with the 4key):
The first four options in this menu are actually
Differential calculus deals with derivatives, or rates of change, of functions and their applications in mathematical analysis. The derivative of a function is defined as a limit of the difference of a function as the increment in the independent variable tends to zero. Limits are used also to check the continuity of functions.
Function limThe calculator provides function lim to calculate limits of functions. This function uses as input an expression representing a function and the value
