I've installed Symbolic and it added a new MATH called
d() just as the TI-89. It works as:

d(string1,string2)

Input : d("8X^2-4","X")
Return: 16*X

Thanks!

Is there a way to implement this new command (function)
on Y2 if the original function is on Y1?

Like...

Y1=8X^2-4
Y2=d(Y1,"X")


(But this returns an error)

I would also be very glad if there was a way to draw the
deraivative's function direct on the graph when I have
calculated a deraivative. (The line passing trough.)
