Symbolic Expressions
« on: March 31, 2011, 05:19:24 pm »
I have a series of Basic programs that I made on my calc that allow me to (sort of) deal with symbolic expressions. Here's what I have so far:
Polynomial mult/divide
Fraction rationalization
Prettyprint auto-simplified quadratic solver
Root simplifier (sqrt(20) becomes 2sqrt(5), but it works for any root)
A prog that finds all rational roots of a number (and their powers)
And a bunch more (I think)
Anything else I should make?

Complex polynomial roots ftw! :D

Indefinite derivation/integration. ;D

Problem with ndegree poly solvers is that above quartics, not all of them are solvable. I can't even find the equations to solve a quartic. In a similar vein, if I remember correcly, indefinite integrals only work for specific kinds of functions, and the math changes with each kind.

Yeah, some indefinite integrals for elementary functions output nonelementary functions.

Though for a n-degree solver, perhaps use the Newton method for approximating all the roots, complex and noncomplex? :D (for n>4)

Problem is, this has to be able to do complex coefficents, otherwise there's no point. (There's an App for that)

I would imagine that the process is similar, because the derivative of a polynomial is easy to compute, regardless of the coefficients.

I would love that!  Actually, you could do that.  I might write if for KOS if we ever get a dev version, and it allows stuff to be added in like that.
