I want neither a calculator with augmented reality nor one that toasts bread. Just a a hand held calculator that gives a quick check to, say Cos[t] D[Sin[t]/r D[F[r, t], t], r] with (0,1) (1,1) Sin[t] F [r, t] Sin[t] F [r, t] Out[1]= Cos[t] (-(-------------------) + -------------------) 2 r r regardless if I am online or not.
