Finding Derivatives and Integrals

A second derivative can be found using Evaluate Symbolically:

2 2
d 2 z
( z⋅ atan( z) ) yields − 2⋅
dz
2
(1 + z2) ( 1 + z 2)
2

Alternatively, click on the variable of differentiation x and

choose Variable Differentiate from the Symbolics menu.

2
2⋅ x + y by differentiation, yields 4⋅ x

E * [Ctrl].

d 2
(
2x + y → 4 )
dx

Choose Evaluate Complex from the Symbolics menu:

d
sin( x⋅ i + y)
dx

sin( y) ⋅ sinh( x) + i⋅ cos( y) ⋅ cosh( x)

E complex =

d
sin( x⋅ i + y) complex → −sin( 1 ) ⋅ sinh( 1 ) + i⋅ cos( 1 ) ⋅ cosh( 1)
dx

Click on x and choose Variable Integrate from the Symbolics

menu.
2 x
x ⋅e by integration, yields x2⋅ exp( x) − 2 ⋅ x⋅ exp( x) + 2 ⋅ exp( x)
