IMP (LGMF) v1.00 TI-89 "Implicit Differentiation" by Dmitriy Myedvyedyev (aka Dima Medvedev, aka Dimalitious D-Myster) medvedbr@hotmail.com Category: BASIC/MATH/CALCULUS Starting - Completion Date: 04/07/2002 - 04/07/2002 ***THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE WITH MANY OTHER USEFUL CALCULUS *FUNCTIONS* IN A CALCPACK PACKAGE CALLED "calcLGMF" (available by the beginning of May of 2002) Copyright 2002 Dmitriy Myedvyedyev -------------Description: This function does implicit differentiation. All you do is enter the equation and the function does the rest for you, returning dy/dx. The program doesn't necessarily do IMPLICIT differentiation. It can do regular derivatives also. If you enter something like y = x^4 + 1/2*x, it will return 4x^3 + 1/2. -------------Instructions: Transfer the IMPLGMF.89F file to any directory on your calculator. When you run the fucntion, you need to enter an EQUATION (equation, NOT a function, for example, you must enter "y=sin(x)" instead of just "sin(x)". Then just press enter and you will be given the derivative. Example: "implgmf(y=x^2)" returns "2x" -------------Update(s): None. This is the first version of the program. -------------Known Bugs and Important Notes: As long as you enter a valid function, there should be no errors. Unacceptable inputs include expressions instead of equation (x^2 is incorrect, y=x^2 is correct), the equation y=y (or 2y=2y, etc), equations defined in terms of variable other than x and y. ALL equations MUST be difined in terms of x and y: x is independent variable, y is dependent. -------------Thanks! Thank you for downloading this program by Dmitriy Myedvyedyev.
