Math Zen is a math practice app built for real exam performance, not a calculator that does your homework for you. Work through algorithmically generated problems that cover the topics and skills tested on real exams. The adaptive mastery-based progression system tracks your accuracy and adjusts difficulty automatically: struggle with a concept, and it comes back for review; master it, and you advance. Practice offline, anytime, with zero distractions. AP CALCULUS AND SAT MATH PREP Math Zen has dedicated exam paths for the tests US students actually take: - AP Calculus AB: 30 exam-style templates: particle motion, optimization, related rates, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and accumulation functions. - AP Calculus BC: everything in AB plus series, parametric equations, and polar coordinates. - SAT Math: 41 templates across Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, and Geometry and Trigonometry, with word problems and real-world data. Exam prep problems include multi-part questions, where each part builds on the one before it. Also included: A-Level Maths, Gaokao, Suneung, Kyōtsū Test, Abitur, Baccalauréat, Selectividad, EXANI-II, ENEM, GSAT, VWO Wiskunde, and Högskoleprovet paths. 24 TOPICS, 570+ PROBLEM TEMPLATES Six sections covering math from arithmetic through university-level content: Algebra: Arithmetic, Algebra, Complex Numbers, Logarithms Precalculus: Functions, Graph Analysis, Hyperbolic Functions, Sequences & Series Calculus: Limits, Derivatives, Integrals, Differential Equations, Partial Derivatives, Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, Multiple Integrals, Laplace Transforms Geometry & Trigonometry: Geometry, Trigonometry Linear Algebra: Vectors, Matrices, Abstract Algebra Discrete Math: Probability, Statistics 156 subtopics. 570+ algorithmically generated templates. Every session is different. KEY FEATURES Mastery-Based Progression: A five-level bucket system tracks your accuracy within each subtopic and advances you from easy to hard as you demonstrate understanding. Structured, adaptive practice, not random drilling. Theory Built In: Every subtopic carries the rules its own problems need, with worked examples. Tap Show the rule the moment an answer comes out wrong, or open it from the header mid-problem. Mistake Journal: Every wrong answer is captured automatically. Come back later and retry that exact problem type with fresh numbers, until the concept clicks. Resolve them all for a small celebration. Visual Problems: Interactive graphs, geometric diagrams, and animated transformations bring abstract concepts to life. Offline First: The whole app works without internet. Practice on a plane or subway; progress syncs when you reconnect. Dark Mode: Follows your system setting, or pin it to light or dark. No Ads, Ever: Clean, focused, distraction-free. No ads, no coins, no lives. 11 Languages: English, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch. PERFECT FOR - Students preparing for AP Calculus AB/BC, SAT Math, ACT Math, or IB Math - High school students in Algebra 2, Precalculus, or Calculus - University students in Calculus I/II, Linear Algebra, or Differential Equations - Self-learners who want structured math practice at their own pace HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a topic or an exam prep path. 2. Math Zen generates a fresh problem (a quick quiz of one concept) matched to your current level. 3. Solve it: type your answer or select multiple choice. 4. Right answers advance you. Wrong ones show the rule and go to your mistake journal. SUBSCRIPTION Math Zen is free to start with access to core topics.
