Other Resources
WolframAlpha: WolframAlpha is a useful online computation device. WolframAlpha takes written commands, interprets the input, and performs the computations. WolframAlpha is an online ‘watered down’ version of Mathematica. However, WolframAlpha will take many Mathematica commands, as I outline in this document.
Symbolab: Symbolab is a useful online computational device, which will not only integrate but show steps. This can be a useful study tool, but be careful how you use it!
