Common Calculus Operations

This section gives examples for some of the functions
available from the

Calc toolbar menu. For complete

information about any calculus function, refer to Appendix A.

Integrating and
Differentiating

Note: You can integrate an
expression only; you can
differentiate an expression,
list, or matrix.

Finding a Limit

Note: You can find a limit
for an expression, list, or
matrix.
