SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for an online calculator that supports lambda calculus operations, specifically one that allows previous results to be reused in subsequent calculations. Users recommend downloading Maxima, a free alternative to Mathematica, and Octave, a free alternative to MATLAB, as they can handle complex calculations like the Cauchy series. The conversation also touches on the potential for using a lambda calculus interpreter akin to Lisp for more advanced functionality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of lambda calculus principles
  • Familiarity with mathematical series and convergence
  • Basic knowledge of Maxima and Octave software
  • Experience with programming languages like Lisp
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use Maxima for lambda calculus operations
  • Explore Octave for mathematical computations and series analysis
  • Learn about the implementation of lambda calculus in Lisp
  • Investigate online resources for interactive lambda calculus calculators
USEFUL FOR

Students, mathematicians, and software developers interested in computational mathematics, particularly those working with lambda calculus and mathematical series.

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?
