Doctor Math is really proud to introduce its first product, Calculus 1. The concept is very simple. Doctor Math is sure that learning mathematics becomes very effective, if the students apply their learned theory by solving as many practical problems as possible. Doctor Math Calculus 1 offers the students more than 280 practical problems. All solutions of problems and their detailed explanations are available as well. The problems cover different fields of mathematics enclosed in the syllabus of the first year calculus of most universities of the world. This app includes the following main topics: - Real numbers, mathematical induction. - Functions and limits. - Differential calculus. - Application of derivative (Taylor series, extreme value problems, Newton’s Method). - Integral calculus. - Application of Integral (Volumes, arc length, area of surface revolution). - Infinite sequences and series (limits and convergence). These 7 sections of Calculus 1 are divided into several subsections. Each subsection contains 7 problems. The complexity of problems is increasing with the number of the problem in every subsection. The students have the possibility to solve the problems themselves and compare the results with the answers provided by Doctor Math. If difficulties occur during the solving process or if the answers do not match, then the students can simply click the ”solution” button and see the complete solution with all necessary explanations. Moreover, Doctor Math includes a button called ”What Should I Know”. The page under this button contains a brief summary of definitions and theorems as well as formulas necessary for solving the problems. Through the feedback button Doctor Math is wishing to stay in everyday contact with all users. Any remark or question is welcome. Here is the best part - Doctor Math Calculus1 is completely free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Calculus 1 at 85% against Calculus's 33%. Calculus 1 also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Calculus sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Calculus 1 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Calculus 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculus 1 has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Calculus 1's written reviews are positive against 33% of Calculus's.
Calculus 1 ships an update every 10 days, Calculus every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
