Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the request for a mobile application that contains calculus formulas and tables, focusing on the availability of such resources for self-study rather than for calculation purposes. Participants explore the practicality and necessity of having a dedicated app for this content.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a mobile app specifically for displaying calculus formulas and tables, emphasizing a desire for a resource that does not perform calculations.
  • Another participant questions the need for such an app, suggesting that numerous books and online resources already provide this information, and raises concerns about potential misuse during tests.
  • A different participant expresses skepticism about the existence of such an app but suggests that users could create their own resource by transferring existing documents onto their mobile devices.
  • The original requester clarifies their intent, stating that they are self-studying and that tests typically provide formula sheets, referencing a specific calculus review card as a desired resource.
  • One participant brings up the idea of having scientific calculators available on mobile phones as a related topic of interest.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the necessity or existence of a mobile app for calculus formulas. There are competing views regarding the availability of resources and the appropriateness of using mobile devices in academic settings.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the availability of resources and the context of their use in academic settings remain unresolved. The discussion reflects varying perspectives on the appropriateness of mobile applications for educational purposes.

can anyone here find my request??

i want (if it exists) a program that contains all tables and formulas of calculus that can be installed on the mobile phone, i don't want a program to operate calculations , but just show the rules.

Why would you want such a thing, when there are hundreds of books around that contain these tables of data, and on the internet there is even more information. Unless, of course, you want something that is easily concealable. You wouldn't be thinking of cheating on a test, would you?
 
I HIGHLY doubt something like that exists, however depending on how new and pricey your mobile it, it may be able to display word documents. There are documents on the internet with vast tables of data and also books of formulas, you could transfer them onto a word document and put them on your phone. However if you are using this to cheat on a test, I have given you this information out of pity.
 
how can cheat in the test??

i think the mobiles are forbidden in the tests.
second, in the test they give you a formula sheet with all formulas that you will need.
third , i have no test, i am self studying it.

in THOMAS' Calculus book , they say that there is some book named Addison wisley calculus review card that contains all formulas necessary for calculus and can be used in assessments, i wanted something like that.

and as there is dictionaries , medical dictionaries and gragp drawing programmes that can be installed on the mobile, i thought there would be something like a review card for calculus.
 
on a somewhat related note...any scientific calculators available on mobile phones?...i think that would be sweeeeeet
