Learn all about the roots!!! This app generates equations and exercises who are ALWAYS DIFFERENT and provide the COMPLETE SOLUTION !!!! The ideal tool to prepare an exam in algebra or mathematics. Also very useful for teachers who have to prepare the homework or examinations for their students. With this app you can learn and practice ALL TECHNIQUES involving square roots and roots of a higher order. 6 different exercise types are available: 1) Simplify 2) Rationalise 3) Expressions 4) Equations - Easy 5) Equations - Medium (available as in app purchase) 6) Equations - Difficult (available as in app purchase) • In Level 1 you will learn the basics in order to simplify the roots: square roots extraction and calculation rules. • Level 2: you can train the rationalization of roots that is eliminating the root from the denominator. • Level 3: introduces expressions with roots. • Level 4: you can learn the basics of solving equations with roots. The equations presented here are very simple and require a few steps to be resolved. • Level 5: equations become a bit more complicated and require more steps to be resolved. • Level 6: equations that need to be squared twice to be resolved. These equations often lead to a quadratic equation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Linear Algebra at none against Roots's 2. Linear Algebra also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 32 months). Roots's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
