EXTREMA v2.0 TI-89 "Extrema: Max/Min Finder" by Dmitriy Myedvyedyev (aka Dima Medvedev, aka Dimalitious D-Myster) medvedbr@hotmail.com Category: BASIC/MATH/CALCULUS Starting - Completion Date: unknown ***THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE WITH MANY OTHER USEFUL CALCULUS PROGRAMS IN A CALCPACK PACKAGE CALLED "CALC1LGM" (available by the beginning of April of 2002) Copyright 2002 Dmitriy Myedvyedyev -------------Description: This is a simple program that gives you the list of POTENTIAL (not necessarily real) maximums, minimums, and inflection points. -------------Instructions: Transfer the EXTREMA.89P file to any directory on your calculator. When you run the program, you are asked to enter a function. The output gives you the list of possible maxs, mins, and inflection points. -------------Update(s): Improved output layout and calculations. -------------Known Bugs and Important Notes: Don't forget that those only COULD be the maxs, mins, and inflection points you are looking for and that there could be DIFFERENT maxs or mins. This program finds the points where the first order derivative is 0 (max/min) and where the second order derivative is 0 (IPs). -------------Thanks!
