Wolfram is terrible. In calculus, using wolfram only guarantee you a lower grade.

I'm not implying it's a replacement for doing your calculus homework out by hand.

Or learning how to understand and comprehend and create solutions. Also Wolfram starts charging if your equations take too long.

I'm sorry Wolfram Alpha failed you in a past life. Thought that is good to know.

First ten minutes of play I ate my loincloth and then got some limbs torn off by a super friendly rat. Thumbs up from me.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

The computer can take integrals.  Impressive.  Can you?

Integrate the sqrt(5 + 3 sin(2theta) + 5sin(2theta)^2)

Integrate the sqrt(5 + 3 sin(2theta) + 5sin(2theta)^2)
5(sin2(theta))^2
or
5sin(2theta^2)

latter.

I think it's the problem.

I'm drunk so I can't confirm it for you, but find the arc length of the sqrt(1+ sin(2x))

What is love?
Quote
a strong positive emotion of regard and affection, of the kind humans sometimes express toward one another and computational knowledge engines express toward the internet

Wait.  What?
