Edu Graphing Calculator is written for students, teachers, and lifelong learners. -- All screens have portrait and landscape -- Polynomial solver up to 10th degree -- Wide range of settings for font sizes and graph line widths -- Additional matrix/systems of equations material in reference, with more coming -- Copy/Paste works in many places -- Updates to this version will be more frequent, going forward -- Please report bugs to the email address inside the app Features: 1) Scientific Calculator. Simple to grasp and easy to use, but powerful features are available when you need them. Available functions include the following: • the usual arithmetic functions and exponentiation. • square root, cube root, nth root, natural log, log base 10, log of arbitrary base, absolute value, factorial, permutations (nPr), combinations (nCr), modulus, random integer, bell curve, cumulative normal distribution, decimal to fraction. 2) Graphing. Capabilities: • Graph up to four equations at once. • Graphs are labeled. • You can drag the graph or pinch to zoom in or out. • Calculator can find roots and intersections. • Graph in polar coordinates. • Graph parametric equations • Can graph implicit functions, such as x^2+y^2-4=0. Most calculator apps can't do this! 3) A unit converter. With a tap, you can enter the result of your conversion into the calculator. Currently converts different units of the following: acceleration, angle, area, density, distance, energy, force, mass, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, and volume. Great for doing physics homework! 4) Constants for scientific calculations -- speed of light, strength of gravity at Earth's surface, etc. etc. etc. Tapping on a constant will insert it into your calculation -- i.e, you don't have to key in the value. Again, great for doing physics homework! 5) It can make a table of the values of any function you care to enter. You can choose the starting x value of the table, as well as how much x increases for each successive row. 6) Help screens linked directly to many of the available functions and constants. Tap the disclosure arrow to see the definition. 7) Forgot the quadratic formula? Or the double-angle formulas for sine and cosine? The math/science reference hits the high points of various subjects. Currently includes algebra, differential and integral calculus, geometry, trigonometry, vectors, vector calculus, and classical mechanics. 8) Keep track of significant figures [AKA sig figs] 9) Statistics -- enter data and make a histogram, box and whisker plot, or scatter plot with optional regression line. 10) System of equations solver If you are viewing this in iTunes, you will see five iPhone screenshots and five iPad screenshots. But even ten shots don't come close to showing everything this calculator can do. I'd love to hear your comments or suggestions. You can write me at the email address on the App's settings tab. Thanks!

Vectors and Planes App helps visualize and understand 3D linear and quadric structures and their intersections. List of linear structures and combinations: 1. Two vector combination. 2. Plane. 3. Line and plane combination. 4. Two plane combination. 5. Three plane combination. Current list of quadric structures: 1. Two sphere combination. 2. Standard ellipsoid. 3. Ellipsoid in a form of positive-definite matrix. 4. Standard cone. 5. Cone in a form of indefinite matrix. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid. 7. 1-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 8. 2-sheet hyperboloid. 9. 2-sheet hyperboloid in a form of indefinite matrix. 10. Standard cylinder. 11. Cylinder in a form of positive-semidefinite matrix. 12. Hyperbolic paraboloid. 13. Elliptic paraboloid. Current list of combinations of quadric and linear structures: 1. Matrix ellipsoid and line. 2. Standard ellipsoid and plane. 3. Matrix ellipsoid and plane. 4. Matrix cone and line. 5. Standard cone and plane. 6. 1-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 7. 2-sheet hyperboloid in matrix form and line. 8. Matrix cylinder and line. 9. Elliptic paraboloid and line. 10. Hyperbolic paraboloid and line. Interactive 3D graphs are provided for all of the above. Step by step calculation algorithms are provided for all intersection point sets. Many of the algorithms are based on Linear Algebra concepts. Those, in turn, are explained in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Version 10 was completely redesigned. Developers hope to get feedback from users at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EduCalc at 4.7 against Vectors and Planes's 4.3. EduCalc also leads on ratings volume (34 vs 11) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Vectors and Planes's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 92%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EduCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 34 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of EduCalc's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vectors and Planes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EduCalc ships an update every 2 weeks, Vectors and Planes every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
