What you are asking for is an age-long dream of many lazy-bones including me and you ;-) Actually, the algorithms and heuristics behind the scene of symbolic computations yield human unreadable intermediate data roughly equivalent the omnibus edition of Balzac... or even far much bulkier! There is even a special tech term, intermediate expression swell, to denote this biggest problem in Computer Algebra. Usually, even for many seemingly innocuous inputs there should be done formidable, massive, large scale calculations... which are hidden so not to confuse us the users. To see the whole process? The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Sure not. However, to produce such the expert system you want would require a quite sizable investment... That will run to a pretty penny, and up to now, AFAIK, the entrepreneurs seems to be reluctant enough to tread this thorny path... However, not all is so pitch-dark! Below comes a quotation from the Calculus Derivative and Integral site at http://www.calc101.com/ Day or night, from anywhere, you can get calculus problems solved in seconds, automatically. You get all the steps including the final answer. Each step is explained in plain English, just like the examples in your textbook. You see it all in standard math notation, just like your teacher at the blackboard. But I am prepared to admit I find it difficult to name the second URL of that ilk 8-( T> the other question is how can i make it show me the solution but in a more T> "nicer" form. i mean, to be written like i would write it for my homework.

Use TraditionalForm. {5^3, D[f[z], z], Integrate[f[z], z]} // TraditionalForm Best wishes, Vladimir Bondarenko Email: vvb at mail.strace.net Web : http://www.CAS-testing.org/ (under development, 95% ready) http://maple.bug-list.org/ (under development, 20% ready)
