I never heard of mathway.com before.  It's rather interesting.

I especially like how it evaluates integrate(exp(-x^2),x).  The final
answer is (gasp!):

-binos((x^2))vyD+C

(I think each of those letters is a separate variable, and i is sqrt(-1).)

I'm not sure what it's doing, but part way through it finds a division
by zero (erroneously), but then continues anyway.
