There are manyroutines for displaying functions, computations, and theorems. In general,the Student package contains computation, interactive, and visualizationcomponents. For a complete list of subpackages, refer to the ?Student helppage. The following provides examples from the Student[Calculus1]subpackage.The Student Calculus1 Subpackage (Single Variable) This subpackagehelps you step through differentiation, integration, and limit computations.The package contains visualization and interactive routines,and single-step computation. For details about the Student[Calculus1]package, refer to the ?Student[Calculus1] help page.
