Function


Derivative

Derivative[function f]
Derivative of function f(x)

Derivative[function f, number n]
n-th derivative of function f(x)


Integral

Integral[function f]
Indefinite integral for f(x)

See definte integral, 4.3.2.


Polynomial

Polynomial[function f]
yields the expanded polynomial function f.
Example: Polynomial[ (x - 3)2] yields x2 - 6x + 9
