Calculus Course Assistant
This app covers the following topics applicable to Calculus, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Calculus I, and Calculus II:
- Evaluate any numeric expression or substitute a value for a variable.
- Plot basic, parametric, or polar plots of the function(s) of your choice.
- Determine the limit of a function as it approaches a specific value.
- Differentiate any function or implicit function.
- Find the critical points and inflection points of a function.
- Identify the local and absolute extrema of a function.
- Integrate a function, with or without limits.
- Sum a function given a lower and upper bound.
- Find the closed form of a sequence or generate terms for a specific sequence.
The Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education.
The Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers over a 2G, 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

Sometimes buggy but works great! It gives step-by-step instructions after the answer's been given.
When i tried to integrate 1/x with respect to x, the answer i got was log(x). The correct answer is ln(x). If the app messed up something this basic, i dont think i can trust it for any complex calculations! Please work on it.
Old format doesn't even work on most new cellphones, useless, perhaps the windows version will be better
I have a problem with the app, I can't use inverse functions. If you solve this problem I'll give 5 🌟
The developers don't reply to my emails. Therefore, this app is useless to me until I can find someone at school who can help me figure it out.
very helpful but I'm getting the same issue about inverse functions not working
Bad application Do not paid for this.
It works beautifully for checking answers and giving full step by step procedures of how to work out problems. A few little glitches but nothing major that ruins functionality. -I would like to see when you enter in an exponent that it goes to a small number like in a calculator not as a carrot ^. Also the ability to take a picture of a problem and scan the numbers in as to not screw up entering the problem in manually with parentheses.
Fancy calculus based interface for the wolfram alpha app, so you don't have to memorize the input language. Same information otherwise, except the keyboard is limited - no letters for entering functions not already included in the keyboard. Swipe entering would be a nice feature, as entering math is tedious even in this app with its function buttons. For sequences and series (my needs) it isn't any more helpful than a TI89, as it doesn't do step by step proofs for convergence, it just list's the test used and yay or nay for convergence - no math shown at all doesn't really help me learn much when stuck. A graph (provided) can show the convergence well enough, so the app should really show the convergence tests step by step. Do something Wolfram Group! The bottom line, with step by step work-throughs for practically everything else, this app will be great if you're in the beginning of your calculus academics. For me, I can only hope this is actually helpful and worth the money for the rest of my Calc III class.
Really cool app. Meets your basic needs on solving a portion of a problem. Doesn't go into full detail on how exactly to understand solving the solution or understanding the concept. Would recommend for those that need a refresher only.
I wish that this app would add ways to calculate volume b/w two curves. Also, maybe let us see the computer calculate problems using both the washer and shells approch
Doesn't go into as much detail as one would expect. Developers also don't respond to emails.
The keyboard you provide is garbage, but other than that it's good.
Enter any question and it will show you step by step answers. Only tricky part is knowing how to plug in the questions. I love it!
Constant time out when i try to calculate limits. 1* until its fixed
Get the wolfram alpha app for 1$. It does the same thing
App does not understand any calculus problems
The app won't launch and I can't request for a refund
There is a problem with the "complete the square" way of integrating.
More detailed and better graphics with easier to use interface. Self explanatory interface.
Power of Wolfram Math. is represented in a simple manner
life saver app!
Cannot compute anything, even simple arithmetic, without first connecting to wolframalpha and then getting a network error.
I love the step by step features and its very accurate. Very helpful when you want a blunt definition of calc functions too.
The functionality is great but the design resembles a very old looking app.
The quality of the app is splendid! It saves my time while working on long, boring integral computing problems. Fab.
This has not worked since I paid for and installed it. Nothing is more irritating than paying for something and getting nothing to work, except limits. Constantly says its stopped working...it never even started.
A 1980s program. Entering the formula can be difficult. There are easier to use apps to choose from.
