What this tool does
This tool helps you explore mathematical functions quickly: - Compute numeric derivatives (approximations) to check slopes at a point. - Obtain symbolic derivatives when available. - Approximate definite integrals using the trapezoid rule to estimate area under a curve. - Preview function graphs to better understand behavior over a chosen range.
Important notes for users
- Symbolic results and simplifications come from math libraries — they are mathematically equivalent but may look different than textbook forms.
- For complicated expressions or functions with singularities, numeric results may be NaN or unstable; try adjusting the range or the number of steps.
- This tool is intended for learning and quick exploration and is not a substitute for professional mathematical software in formal or production workflows.
