Hey

I am looking for an excellent and flexible calculus calculator. A calculator that would calculate integrals, differentials, areas, volumes, area between more than one function, volume of two functions being rotated around a specific axis or a line etc...

I've gone through many now and they can only calculate the definite and the indefinite integral and the differentials. They are quite useless when it comes to the more complicated tasks such calculating volumes are rotating two or multiple functions around a line or an axis.

Would you guys have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Perhaps try SAGE? You'll have to setup the integral yourself, however.
