Handycalc doesn't do calculus. Therefore I use 'Calculus tools' (and since yesterday DROID48). But calculus tools does'nt work very well on the edge and it needs some upgrading work to make it a really good app. It's nice that apps are free or cost only a few dollars, but I would be willing to pay 10-20 times as much for a really good math application. Mabe that's too much money for an app used on a mobile phone, but the Edge is much more computer like and needs more sophisticated apps.
Hi-
I know this is a relatively old post, but I'm relatively new to the forum. And it's my first chance to help someone else for a change, so I hope it's not too late to help.

Try accessing Wolfram Alpha online on the tablet: http://www.wolframalpha.com
It's an amazingly useful site for plotting functions and a lot more. It's very user friendly too... you don't need to know how to use Mathematica syntax at all.
