Calcuilder
Builder name(s) and current ranks:
Calcuilder: Tinkerer
Creation location:
328 92 -123
Machine Features:
decimal input
8 bit multiplier
subtract 1 circuit
2 displays for f(x) and f'(x)
outputs in hexadecimal
How To Use:
enter a number using the input you spawn in front of, wait for about a second between presses. when done, press the button labeled coefficient or power to set the corresponding value, this update a the f(x) screen quickly, and after a bit of time the f'(x) screen with show the derivative of f(x)

You choose an interesting challenge.
With only a^b it stays fairly simple. But that means, my judgement falls more on the actual Redstone being used.
I do like your input system.
The Displays are fine.
The input system is fine too, could be a bit smaller though.
- You are using some weird torch stairs to get Redstone signals downwards. Please use slabs instead, I doubt that these torches are there to introduce delay.
- There is no running indicator, unless the build is faster than 4 seconds please add one.
- The multiplier is weirdly large in volume and could be much more compressed. As you have WE, you can easily shrink it down yourself. Please implement "array-tree" (multiple additions at the same time) or make it sequential.
- Some of your busses can be folded differently to have a shorter Redstone path (+1-3 ticks).
Nice to have but not required things:
It would be nice to have decimal output. It would be nice to see the inserted number while typing it.
