How Do You Use A Graphing Calculator For Calculus?
In calculus, there are times when you need to use difficult computation and manipulation techniques to solve integrations, derivations and other types of problems. In addition, doing hand calculations for these problems can be long and cumbersome. Learning to use a graphing calculator to do some calculus problems may be a good option. Select a graphing calculator that is appropriate for calculus. Older models are less powerful whereas newer ones may have computer algebra system capability so choose a model that has at least the following features: ability to numerical calculate the derivative of a function and the value of a definite integral, find zeros of functions and plot the graph of functions. Read the manual thoroughly for the model you select and familiarize yourself with the basic keys and the different functions keys used for calculus. Learn to use the different function keys by following the manual instructions for each key. Be sure you know which keys you use to calculate d
