- Note that the HP 48SX can only do limited SYMBOLIC integration.
- You are pretty much limited to polynomials and some very simple trig
- functions. In other words, you will find the symbolic integration
- capability to be of limited use. Of course, you can always do numeric
- integration.
-
- There's no problem with symbolic differentiation, though.
