    Paul de Casteljau (19 November 1930 – 24 March 2022) was a French physicist and mathematician. In 1959, while working at Citroën, he developed an algorithm for evaluating calculations on a certain family of curves, which would later be formalized and popularized by engineer Pierre Bézier, leading to the curves widely known as Bézier curves.

    Figure 2. Xcas can solve equation, calculate derivative, antiderivative and more. Figure 3. Xcas can solve differential equations. Xcas is a user interface to Giac, which is an open source [2] computer algebra system (CAS) for Windows, macOS and Linux among many other platforms. Xcas is written in C++. [3]

    In 1809, he was admitted to Faculté des Sciences de Paris. In 1812, he began teaching at the Collège de France, and was appointed chair of mathematics in 1815. When a second edition of the Traité du Calcul Différentiel et du Calcul Intégral was published in three volumes in 1810, 1814, and 1819, Lacroix renewed the text:

    A Texas Instruments TI-Nspire calculator that contains a computer algebra system. In the 1950s, while computers were mainly used for numerical computations, there were some research projects into using them for symbolic manipulation.

  7. Windows Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Calculator

    A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [6]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.

  8. Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator

    At the turn of the millennium, the line between a graphing calculator and a handheld computer was not always clear, as some very advanced calculators such as the TI-89, the Voyage 200 and HP-49G could differentiate and integrate functions, solve differential equations, run word processing and PIM software, and connect by wire or IR to other ...

  9. Appell's equation of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appell's_equation_of_motion

    In fact, Appell's equation leads directly to Lagrange's equations of motion. [3] Moreover, it can be used to derive Kane's equations, which are particularly suited for describing the motion of complex spacecraft. [4] Appell's formulation is an application of Gauss' principle of least constraint. [5]
