Mathfuns aims at solving mathematical problems in all stages from primary school, junior high school, senior high school to university. It uses its unique computing engine to provide problem-solving services for teachers, students and engineers.You only need to input the formula to get what you want: answer, drawing, association description and analysis, etc.Mathfuns is committed to the simplification of complex mathematical problems to make mathematics easier. Mathfuns is a new universal super calculator. Mathfuns = Formula editor + Graphing calculator + Super calculator + Step solver + Geometric sketchpad.

Refer to The third edition of the book, covering content [need full version]: 2. Getting Started: Insertion sort, Merge sort; 4. Divide-and-Conquer: Maximum-subarray, Matrix Multiplication[normal, recursive, Strassen’s algorithm]; 6. Heapsort: Heapsort[max-heap, min-heap]; 7. Quicksort: Quicksort; 8. Sorting in Linear Time: Counting sort; 12. Binary Search Trees: Binary search tree[Inorder Walk, Search Recursive, Search Iterative, Minimum Iterative, Maximum Iterative, Successor, Predecessor, Insert, Delete]; 13. Red-Black Trees: Red Black Tree[Insert, Delete]; 15. Dynamic Programming: Rod cutting[Recursive, Top_down, Bottom_up, Print],Longest common subsequence; 16. Greedy Algorithms: Acitivity selection[Recursive, Iterative],Huffman codes; 22. Elementary Graph: Breadth-first search, Depth-first search, Topological sort, Strongly connected components; 23. Minimum Spanning Trees: Minimum spanning tree[Kruskal’s algorithm,Prim’s algorithm]; 24. Single-Source Shortest Paths: The Bellman-Ford algorithm,DAG algorithm,Dijkstra’s algorithm; 25. All-pairs Shortest Paths: All-pairs Shortest paths algorithms[Slow,Faster,The Floyd-Warshall algorithm]; 26. Maximum Flow: The Ford-Fulkerson algorithm; Addition: Tower of Hanoi,N Queens Problem,Comparison of sorting algorithms; The primary features: You can run the pseudo-code single step or continuous, observe the change of parameters and data structures,it can help you to understand the design thought of the algorithm; You can set breakpoints in program and ovserve the status of breakpoint, it can help you to understand why this algorithm is corrcet by using loop invariants; With running-time function stacks and the returning positions,you can track the running process of recursive functions easily, and understand the operation mechanism of computer programs; By recording the performed times of the pseudo-codes can help you to understand the running time of algorithms; I wish this app can be helpful to you;

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CLRS.Helper[Lite] at none against Mathfuns's 3. CLRS.Helper[Lite] also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mathfuns's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
