Look at the addon. If you want to improve it, ask for permission to
modify it. People have talked about doing this from time to time, and
now it's possible. Calculus is looking for a champion.

expand this addon to give support for more methods of integration and
differentiation.
How should we do that?
That said, there are something like 70 pages on www.jsoftware.com
itself that will need to be updated for this, and there are also
external pages that will need to be updated (I think some might be on
rosettacode, but that's just an example). All of this will be code
that won't work again.
At the very least, this kind of thing warrants a special error message
that will point the hapless student ten years from now in the right
direction for figuring out how to fix the problem with the example
they're struggling with.
