Hi all, I'm building a little Mathematica system that checks answers entered by students. Suppose the question is "what is Sin'[x]?" ad the student responds: Sin'[x] which is "correct", but not the intended answer (Cos[x]). I'm wondering if there is a general way to approach this sort of problem. In particular, is there a way to find out whether a given expression includes certain elements (like Derivative)? Thank you in advance, Sam
