RSA Experimenter vs Calculus Path

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.

Build genuine differentiation fluency through short, focused practice sessions. Calculus Path turns derivative practice into a clear learning journey. Progress through 22 structured lessons covering core derivative rules, combined techniques, advanced methods and applications. Every session helps you practise efficiently, understand your mistakes and decide what to work on next. KEY FEATURES • Progress through multiple carefully structured differentiation lessons • Practise with fresh question variations • Receive immediate feedback after every answer • Discover the misconception behind each mistake • Strengthen weak skills with targeted repair questions • Unlock new lessons by demonstrating mastery • Build XP and maintain a daily learning streak • Revisit difficult concepts through a focused review queue • Keep your learning progress stored on your device • Set optional daily practice reminders • Continue practising without an internet connection TOPICS INCLUDE • Constant, power, exponential and logarithmic derivatives • Trigonometric differentiation • Product, quotient and chain rules • Implicit differentiation • Tangents, normals and stationary points Calculus Path is designed for secondary-school, pre-university and introductory university students who want more than an answer calculator. Instead of simply showing an answer, it helps you recognise methods, diagnose mistakes and develop lasting calculus skills. Start your path and make differentiation practice part of your day! Future versions/updates with other calculus skills will be developed.
