Maple and Mathematica are both capable of solving differential equations when they are input directly. Mathematica is noted for its ability to handle a wide range of ordinary differential equations, typically providing algebraic or symbolic solutions. While the TI-89 graphing calculator can also solve differential equations, its capabilities may be somewhat limited compared to Mathematica. Users seeking to solve 20-30 differential equations can rely on these tools for effective solutions, particularly with Mathematica's robust functionality.

can Maple and Mathematica solve differential equations if i just type them in? I am having some trouble with about 20-30 differential equations
I'm pretty sure Mathematica can solve most any "tame" ordinary differential equation and will give you an algebraic (symbolic) result. A TI-89 graphing calculator will also do the same thing, though it might be slightly less capable.
As you can see from the image here, when I graph the 2d graph of y = 5sin(1/x), it comes out like I'd expect. However, when I graph it in a 3d graph, it doesn't look right at all. Can someone tell me why it isn't displaying right, or is it and I'm just missing something when I add the z axis?
