    It's most likely based on the Poor Man's Integrator (amongst other tricks)

    I wonder who would install this onto their calculator in earnest. Like, who’s the segment of folks with the savvy to learn about this and install this on their TI calculator, but who aren’t savvy enough to just learn to do the computations in curricular calculus class?

      I used to use a TI-89 in high school, which had a calculus-enabled CAS built-in. It was really handy for checking my work and for working on components of problems. And if you're in a class where the work is more applied math, like physics, it's really helpful so that you can think of the overall problem without getting bogged down in the computation.

      I definitely would’ve installed it as a kid. It’s not about the computations it’s about doing it with style.

    Snap judgment, but it appears to be a vibe coded interface added to an existing CAS for a TI-84 Plus CE calculator.

    I can run Maxima on my phone. Heaven!

    Can a Ti-85 do this?

      The page says:

      > FlowCE fills most of the calculator's memory (2.8 MB)

      The ti-85 only had 28kB ram according to wikipedia.

      So yeah, won't fit.
