I wonder who would install this onto their calculator in earnest. Like, who’s the segment of folks with the savvy to learn about this and install this on their TI calculator, but who aren’t savvy enough to just learn to do the computations in curricular calculus class?
I used to use a TI-89 in high school, which had a calculus-enabled CAS built-in. It was really handy for checking my work and for working on components of problems. And if you're in a class where the work is more applied math, like physics, it's really helpful so that you can think of the overall problem without getting bogged down in the computation.
There is absolutely an overlap in those two circles. The venn diagram is almost exclusively people who are heavily motivated by novelty and hate the drudgery of actual work. I have been a pathological member of that particular venn diagram overlap for my whole life. It's exactly as maladaptive as you might imagine.
is this just a total guess? the repository says it's forked from KhiCAS, which is a ti84 port of Giac/Xcas, which can do full Risch integration if necessary

I definitely would’ve installed it as a kid. It’s not about the computations it’s about doing it with style.

Snap judgment, but it appears to be a vibe coded interface added to an existing CAS for a TI-84 Plus CE calculator.
It's most likely based on the Poor Man's Integrator (amongst other tricks)

Flow CE is unlikely to have the full risch.. maybe one could compromise with, "pmint with risch characteristics"
I can run Maxima on my phone. Heaven!
Can a Ti-85 do this?
The page says:
> FlowCE fills most of the calculator's memory (2.8 MB)
The ti-85 only had 28kB ram according to wikipedia.
So yeah, won't fit.
