A86: Re: Re: Re: SAT Package




The book just lists every common integral and derivative with things like a,
b, or m in place of numbers.  You just find the layout you have and plug yer
numbers into the one you've looked up in the book.  Nearly all integrals can
be found this way.  For many there really isn't any other way then to use a
whole page or two to find it.

Especially for integrals with partial fractions and integration by parts
(backwards multiplication rule)  it just saves so much time.

Has anyone here seen the books I'm talking about.  If not there should be a
condensed version in the back of your calculus book.

I'll put together an example of how this program would work.  I wouldn't be
much more than a whole bunch of strings that you use a search routine to
find a match to what you've entered in to find the integral of.  I'm pretty
sure someone here could do that.  Tonight or tommorow i'll have the time...
