About

RSA Experimenter

Features
Read full description

This app is intended as a tool for understanding a method of encrypting messages known as Public Key Cryptography (RSA). Invented in the 1970's this method still (in 2023) underlies much of the secure electronic transfer of information including communication with a bank (either online or from ATM machines), ordering goods online, transfering medical records and much more. The app is NOT designed for actually sending secure messages; the version of the method implemented here is intensionally a 'toy' version which is more easily understood than the full version. You will see how messages are encoded and decoded and their authenticity verified by using the app to exchange messages with colleagues and friends. The extensive help pages explain most of the mathematics behind this method. It involves concepts often presented to 2nd or 3rd year university students but is accessible to smart and curious middle-school students; the original version of this app was in fact written to accompany a series of sessions of the author with the seventh-grade math class of one of his grandchildren.

Statistical Inference

Features
Read full description

Statistical Inference is an independent study app built for students, self-learners, analysts, and anyone reviewing core inference ideas through focused practice. Work through 160 questions across Fundamentals, Practical Skills, Common Pitfalls, and Advanced Concepts. Each question includes an explanation so you can understand why an answer works, not just whether you got it right. Features: - FSRS spaced-repetition intervals to help reviews land at the right time - Weak-point heatmap to show where you need more practice - Daily challenge for consistent study - Mock exams for timed review - Offline practice for commutes, classrooms, and low-signal moments - No login required Use it to review estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, p-values, sampling distributions, power, errors, likelihood ideas, and common interpretation traps. Practice offline, no login required. Independent study app for Statistical Inference practice.

Verdict

The call

RSA Experimenter and Statistical Inference are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
