Derive 數學及符號運算軟體

Derive 6 is a powerful system for doing symbolic and numeric mathematics on your personal computer. It processes algebraic variables, expressions, equations, functions, vectors, matrices and Boolean expressions like a scientific calculator processes numbers.

Problems in the fields of arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, and propositional calculus can be solved with the click of the mouse. Make plots of mathematical expressions in two and three dimensions using various coordinate systems. By its seamless integration of numeric, algebraic and graphic capabilities, Derive makes an excellent tool for learning, teaching and doing mathematics.

If you are familiar with Derive 5, you will find Derive 6 an (upward-compatible) extension. Here is a list of the major new features:

display the steps in the simplification of an expression along with the transformation rules applied

send and receive math worksheets to and from the TI-89, TI-92+, Voyage 200 TI CAS handhelds

animate parameterized expression plots with slider bars

automatically label plots showing the expression being plotted

rotate 3D plots using the mouse

easily navigate around the on-line help using the table of contents

customize menus, toolbars, and shortcut keys
