<<  -reduces radicals  (i.e. \/18 = 3\/2)>>
Add capability to work on any type of root. Cubic, quartic, etc. Actually not
all that useful, but that capability would enhance it.
<<reduces fractions (i.e. 14/3 = 4 2/3)>>
That's not REDUCING a fraction, TI-85s can already do that very well. That's
converting it to mixed form, which actually is darn near useless in higher
math. I myself can't recall the last time I used a mixed fraction, except in
middle school.
<< - -equation solving (i.e. 3x+2=14   =   x=4)>>
TI-85s do this WAAAAAY better than any program of yours can.
<<normal math (i.e. 18+3/7  =  3) >>

The TI-85 home screen dows that also.

By the way, you might want to brush up on your math. Last time I checked, 18 +
3/7 doesn't equal 3. Oh, you meant to write (18+3)/7 = 3. Learn your order of
operations better. :-D
