Symbolic Difrentation sux on TI-85. I am hoping to try and port some scheme
code a friend of mine wrote that does symbolic for polynomials, but man..
don't even think about rational expressions.  I have to try and learn assembly
frist.. which could be fun...

but.. there are indeed calcuators that can do symbolic differation...
appreatily the TI-92 can... but also... the HP-48G and HP-48GX can.... I have
 a friend who has a 48G.. and my gawd... its amazing....
