'''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 {{Interlanguage link|muLISP|de}}, also by Soft Warehouse. The first release was in 1988 for [[DOS]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Stoutemyer |first1=David |title=Ways to Implement Computer Algebra Compactly: A Personal History |url=https://www.orcca.on.ca/conferences/cca2008/presentations/Stoutemyer_WaysToImplementComputerAlgebraCompactly.pdf |access-date=December 15, 2023 |page=36 |date=August 9, 2008}}</ref> It was discontinued on June 29, 2007, in favor of the [[TI-Nspire CAS]]. The final version is Derive 6.1 for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]].

Since Derive required comparably little memory, it was suitable for use on older and smaller machines. It was available for the DOS and Windows platforms and served as an inspiration for the computer algebra system in certain TI pocket calculators.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/FRANCE/productDetail/fr_derive6.html |title=Derive™ 6 par Texas Instruments -France |access-date=December 15, 2023 |website=education.ti.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090520134135/http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/FRANCE/productDetail/fr_derive6.html |archive-date=May 20, 2009 |language=fr |quote=Le calcul formel présent dans les TI-89 et TI-92 Plus est issu de la collaboration de Texas Instruments et des auteurs de Derive.
