derive is a Python 3 program that can compute the analytical derivative of a given function.

The program has been tested for Python 3.6.8 and higher versions.

Copy all files to the same folder. You can then run the program by executing ui.py in the command line, e.g by typing python3 ui.py. After this, please follow the instructions on the screen.

The following files are found in the project:

• ui.py: the user-interface that appears on the command line.
• derive.py: a collection of methods to generate the analytical derivative of a given expression.
• brackets.py: a collection of methods to handle, transform and remove brackets from a given expression.
• simplify.py: a collection of methods to simplify a given expression
• syntax.py: methods to check and modify incorrect or ambiguous syntax of a given expression
• util.py: a collection of utility methods that are used from the methods in the files above
• text.py: unit tests that verify that the program runs properly
• data.py: a file containing the data such as elementary functions and its derivatives, operators, etc.
