JavaCalc - Calculator
One of many scientific calculators on the web. It accepts brackets, functions like
sin, cos, tan, exp, log, sqrt, pow, asin, acos, atan, gamma,
the constants E und PI.
On the calculator's web page you find a detailed description.
In a cooperation between the author and maths online in the beginning of 2000,
the calculator's functionality has been extended.
(The above version is loaded from the maths online website. Its original location is
there).
If you are not pleased with this calculator, you can choose out of
huge collections of
elementary
and powerful
complex
variants.
maths online mini-calculator
A handy calculator appearing in a small window.
It containts only a single input line, but it understands (almost) as many
statements as the JavaCalc calculator refered to above.
Solving equations
The computer algebra system
Mathematica
carries out the necessary computations exactly and numerically.
(The equation may contain symbolic constants.
Although the page offers only the solution of polynomial equations,
some more general equations are admissible too).
The symbol * for multiplication may be omitted.
The result appears at the bottom of a web document which otherwise looks like
the input page.
Solving systems of equations
The computer algebra system
Mathematica
carries out the necessary computations exactly.
(The equations may contain symbolic constants).
The symbol * for multiplication may be omitted.
The result appears at the bottom of a web document which otherwise looks like
the input page.
Eigenvalues eigenvectors matrix
The computer algebra system
Mathematica
carries out the necessary computations.
(The matrix may contain symbolic constants).
The symbol * for multiplication may be omitted.
The result appears at the bottom of a web document which otherwise looks like
the input page.
maths online function plotter
After entering one or more functional expressions, the graphs are drawn.
Using the zoom option, you may study the graphs from a very "close"
viewpoint and read off coordinates of interesting points with an accuracy
of about 10-14.
(Java applet; part of the program is the parser by
Darius Bacon).
Plotting function graphs
After typing in one or more functional expressions, the respective graphs are plotted.
The necessary calculations are taken over by the computer algebra system
Mathematica.
The action of functions may be denoted by square brackets
(Mathematica sytnax) or round brackets.
Funktion names must be denoted as Sin or sin.
The symbol * for multiplication may be omitted.
Example:
Sqrt[x] + x^2 Exp[-x] or sqrt(x) + x^2 exp(-x).
By the way: the plot is a gif-file and can be saved on your PC by a right
mouse click. It may be printed or included in other documents.
For a new plot, click the "Back"-button of your browser.
Numerical computation of sequences
After typing in an expression for an,
an initial value, an upper bound and a step-width, the items of the sequence are represented numerically.
Numerical computation of series
After typing in an expression for ak,
the items of the sequence of partial sums are represented numerically.
Derivative of a function
Type in an expression defining a function and get its derivarive (or derivatives up to the order required)
in closed form.
The expression may contain symbolic constants.
The computation is taken over by the computer algebra systen
Mathematica.
The action of functions may be denoted by square brackets
(Mathematica sytnax) or round brackets.
Funktion names must be denoted as Sin or sin.
The symbol * for multiplication may be omitted.
Example:
Sin[x] + x^2 Exp[-x] or sin(x) + x^2 exp(-x).
This page is a bit difficult to survey: The result is a web document looking
exactly like the input page. On its bottom side, below the heading
"The derivatives are:",
you find the required list of derivatives. In case of long expressions,
the symbol > means "to be continued next line".
The Integrator
A very useful tool: Type in an expression defining a function and get its (indefinite) integral in closed form.
The expression may contain symbolic constants.
The computation is taken over by the computer algebra systen
Mathematica.
Here, the action of functions must - according to the
Mathematica syntax, be denoted by square brackets!
Inputs are case-insensitive
(in Mathematica standard functions are written with capital first letter),
the symbol * for
multiplication may be omitted.
Example:
Tan[x] + x^2 Exp[-x], not tan(x) + x^2 exp(-x).
Definite Integral
Type in an expression defining a function and get its (exact) definite integral over the required interval.
The expression may contain symbolic constants.
The computation is taken over by the computer algebra systen
Mathematica.
The action of functions may be denoted by square brackets
(Mathematica sytnax) or round brackets.
Funktion names must be denoted as Sin or sin.
The symbol * for multiplication may be omitted.
Example:
Cos[x] + x^2 Exp[-x] or cos(x) + x^2 exp(-x).
The program recognizes divergent integrals quite well (e.g. over 1/x if 0 is in the integration
domain),
but a little bit of caution is in place!
The result appears at the bottom of a web document which otherwise looks like
the input page.

This tool may help you to get mathematical symbols on a web page, provided you know
a little bit about HTML. It comes with a detailled description.
You may download it and use it on a local
computer (without web connection).

Formulae and the web.
The
MathServe Project
at the Vanderbilt University, USA, provides useful online tools on many topics, most of them relying on the
computer algebra system
Mathematica
and are thus capable of performing exact computations.
Some of the tools given above stem from this collection.

Maths by Internet (Mathematik mit Hilfe des Internets)
collects some Java based online tools developed at the University of Bayreuth (Germany):
Numerical tools on linear algebra:
Computer algebra systems (CAS)
are able to perform symbolic and numeric computations, simplify expressions,
solve equations and differential equations, plot function graphs,
differentiate, integrate, and much more.
On the web, CAS may be found at the following sites.
