    Calculator Lambda
Click For Summary
An online lambda calculator is sought that allows results to be reused in subsequent calculations, similar to the "Ans" key on traditional calculators. This functionality is particularly useful for exploring mathematical series, such as the Cauchy series. Suggestions include downloading Maxima, a free alternative to Mathematica, or Octave, a free alternative to MATLAB, both of which can handle complex calculations effectively. There is also a query about whether an interpreter for lambda calculus, akin to Lisp, is being requested, indicating a potential interest in programming-related calculations.

Does anyone know of an online lambda calculator? Or actually I need an online calculator that allows the result to be used in the next calculation. Like the "Ans[wer]" key on some realworld calculators. It allows me to see for myself how for example the Cauchy series "1/Ans + Ans/2" converges. The difference with a sequence like "2*2 Ans" is that know the previous answer have to be used on two places in the equation.

If I were you, I'd just download Maxima (the free analogue of Mathematica) or Octave (the free analogue of MATLAB). Both should be more than capable of what you're trying to do.

Yes, I've Matlab. But thanks anyway for your suggestion.
 
I don't fully understand your post. Are you looking for an interpreter for the lambda calculus, as in lisp?

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
