    Thought you might like to know that it's Hero's Formula, not Heron's.
    Not at all related to sheep...

    Make a Solve() function that lest you put in an equation, and it solves the variable in it.

    My calculator has that, but it can't solve (X^X)^X=3 without causing an error
    Don't pay attention to this signature, it's contradictory.

    Summation and Product functions, Derivatives and simple Integrals, Matrix functions, Solve() or Isolate() using systems of equations while attempting to eliminate certain variables, Limits, Recursive sequences, ....... thats all i can think of for now.

    Oh and if it doesn't already have them: vector funtions.
    Unite, proletariat!

    My HP-15C solves this one.

    most ppl here call it Heron's formula instead of Hero's formula.

    Did you know that...
    The probability that a random rational number has an even denominator is 1/3 (Salamin and Gosper 1972)? This result is independently verified by me (2002)!

    program to find the difference quotient of an equation.

    something like this
    VB Code:
    1. f(x) = 3x+2
    2.  
    3. f(x+h) = 3(x+h) + 2 - (3x+2)/h
    4.           = 3x+3h+2-3x-2/h
    5.           = 3h/h
    6.           = 3
    7.  
    8. so the difference quotient of f(x) = 3x+2 is 3

    or something like that
