Hi

Wolfram Alpha can show steps Can Mathematica show steps?

Hi,

the easiest way might be to call WolframAlpha from Mathematica:

WolframAlpha["solve y''=-y", IncludePods -> "DifferentialEquationSolution", AppearanceElements -> {"Pods"}, 
TimeConstraint -> {20, Automatic, Automatic, Automatic}, PodStates -> {"DifferentialEquationSolution__Step-by-step solution"}]

That also works in plain text:

{WolframAlpha["solve y''=-y", {{"DifferentialEquationSolution", 1}, "Plaintext"}, PodStates -> {"DifferentialEquationSolution__Step-by-step solution"}], 
 WolframAlpha["solve y''=-y", {{"DifferentialEquationSolution", 2}, "Plaintext"}, PodStates -> {"DifferentialEquationSolution__Step-by-step solution"}]}

Cheers,

Marco
