773.0. "Calculus tutorial" by PFLOYD::ROTHBERG (and now - number 4 - the larch.) Mon Oct 19 1987 15:24

                Does anybody know where I might be able to obtain
                a calculus tutorial  .    .  .  either for VMS or
                Ms-Dos?  I am  not  doing  too well at the moment
                and I really need to pass this class.  Thanx.
                
                Best regards - rob

773.1you could post problems as repliesEAGLE1::BESTR D Best, Systems architecture, I/OTue Oct 20 1987 13:0517
re .0:

Do you mean things like CAI ?

I don't know of any programs that do this, but you could try looking
in the software tools clearinghouse.  (there's a notesfile; I can't recall
the name right off; try CONFERENCES)  There are program languages available that
have symbolic math capabilities (MAPLE), but I suspect that's not exactly what
you want.

Why not post some of the harder problems here and ask people to solve
them with detailed explanations ?  I'd be willing to solve a few per
day (I generally look in MATH at least once a day) and I'm sure others would be
happy to help.

Are you having the most trouble with proofs ?  Integration techniques ?
Word problems ?

                The only  tutorial  that  I have seen was for the
                IBM.    I'm   having  problems  with  those  nice
                beginning things .   .  .  limits and some of the
                more  complicated  differentiation  of equations.
                I'll  post a couple of examples  a  little  later
                this  afternoon  to give you an idea  what  I  am
                stuck on.  SHould be no problem for  you  wizards
                out there.  Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it
                a great deal.
                
                Best regards - rob

    I know it's 6 years since -1, but was wondering there are any VMS or DOS
    tutorials out now.  I have MAPLE on my workstation, but it's cumbersome
    without a manual.  I also use an HP48SX and have the Sparcom Calculus
    PAC, but it doesn't do derivatives and its limit analysis appears to be
    unreliable.
    
    thanks,
    Mike
