{wiki=Derive_(computer_algebra_system)}

Derive is a computer algebra system (CAS) that was developed for symbolic mathematics and mathematical computation. Originally created by Soft Warehouse in the late 1980s, Derive allows users to perform algebraic operations such as simplification, differentiation, integration, factorization, and solving equations symbolically. Key features of Derive include: 1. **Symbolic Computation**: Users can work with algebraic expressions, polynomials, and symbolic equations rather than just numerical approximations.
