Derive was a computer algebra system, developed as a successor to muMATH by the Soft Warehouse in Honolulu, Hawaii, now owned by Texas Instruments. Derive was implemented in muLISP. The first release was in 1988. It was discontinued on June 29th 2007[1] in favor of the TI-Nspire. The last version was Derive 6.1.

Since Derive required comparably little memory, it was suitable for use on older and smaller machines. It was only available for Windows and DOS platforms and was also used in TI pocket calculators.
