A quick question for those of you who use CAS more than I get to...  How do I get the nspire to display the constant of integration when I use the integral template?

I know that I can get it by doing:
integral(x^2+3,x,c) 
But if I use the template I can't see how to tell it I want the constant included...

Any ideas or so I need to type it out in full?

Cheers
Andy

You are correct the "+constant" has not been included from the TI-89 days.
Here is a solution that isn't any better:
deSolve(y'=x^2+3,x,y)

Thanks, was wondering if I had just missed something!

You could write a short function, called something like 'do', so that
when you typed in:
do(integral(x^2+3,x))
it produced the output with a "+c" string appended to the end.

Not the most elegant, but it would do
Did you like the pun?
