Taking calculus? Then you need the Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant. This definitive app for calculus—from the world leader in math software—will help you work through your homework problems, ace your tests, and learn calculus concepts. Forget canned examples! The Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant solves your specific Calculus problems on the fly including step-by-step guidance for derivatives, integrals, and much more.

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 worlds leading software system for mathematical research and education.

The Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alphas supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

Pros and cons of Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant app for iPhone and iPad

Wolfram Calculus Course Assistant app good for

This app is amazing. It really helps me in my course. I recommend it! It really worth it.
Ele é excelente, calcula derivadas, integrais, deriva uma integral. E o melhor é que mostra como a integral foi resolvida. Its a great app that permites you to integrate and differentiate any function you have in mind. The integrals solution is included, wich makes this app perfect.
As with the Algebra App, Absolutely amazing. These apps can (and should) revolutionize the way math courses are taught.
This app is great, but the Wolfram Alpha mobile app has better value in my opinion. This is due to the fact that these course assistants are limited to one subject whereas the WAlpha app can do anything. One thing that could be improved is if some sort of CAS was included so that derivatives etc. could be solved offline.
Ive always used their website. Now its even easier with the app!
Im taking calc in uni and this helps so much especially how it shows you how its done!

Some bad moments

Needs Internet connection. Works only for basic stuff. Cant show steps to a bit complex solutions, instead keep popping time out....
Please, resolution for iPhone 5. Its a very strong and good app, but is very difficult to write on the iPhone 5! I spent money for this app, and I would like an update!! Thanks
I am extremely unsatisfied with this app. I think mathway is so much more helpful. I feel like it doesnt make sense, its hard to find the right category, and it is a waste of $4. Sorry but not sorry its the truth there could definitely be some improvement on this app.
This app is alright, however I must say it is extremely limited. Calculus is so much more. Im in a college calculus class and this app realistically helps me out 3 times out of 10. On the next update increase capability. There is so much more that needs to be entered in on certain circumstances to get too the correct answer & this app only solves the basic minimum. Its really more for a pre calculus high school class. For those in a college level calculus class this app is not as extensive as it needs to be at all. Word to the developer: Pearsons math lab calculus class is what I was using this for. Many colleges are using this now. Study the calculus class on Pearsons "my mathlab" and design this app around it. Trust me it will benefit the developer and the student.
This is a great app for people taking calculus the FIRST year! It has helped me a lot! Once youre on the 2nd yr of calculus, then it will become limited for you.
Absolutely the best calculus assistant I can find...... One question though how can I use this app for rolles and mean-value theorem?
