math/calculus is described only in the header of calculus.ijs. It has
replacements for d. D. D: . It is missing some exotic derivatives but
probably not anything you would need.
The 9.01 release is described at
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/ReleaseNotes/J901 .
If you are going to let students loose on J in the classroom I recommend
that you learn about the lint addon. I wrote it to defend myself from
having to debug everyone's missing ) and misspelled words. I have some
other classroom tools that we can talk about privately.

Dear all,
I am about to teach a course on numerical analysis to freshmen. I planned
on using Jandroid as a classroom calculator for demonstration purposes that
the students can use along with me.
My (not so deep) knowledge of J is based on version 8 only. As I understand
J901 is quite different from the previous version, especially in the
calculus part, which I shall need a lot. In view of this I need suggestions
about the following:
1) Should I better ask the students to use Jandroid version 8?
2) What is a good reference of the math/calculus package?
3) Where shall I get a comprehensive list of all changes in J901?
Thank you so much.
