Solve equations, simplify algebra, take derivatives and integrals, work with matrices, and visualize results in 2D and 3D from one app. Whether you need an exact symbolic answer, a decimal approximation, or a graph, SymCalc keeps the full workflow in one place. Store your work in reusable sessions, assign variables, define your own functions, and come back to your calculations later. - Solve single equations and systems with exact or numerical results - Simplify, factor, expand, substitute, and find roots, limits, sums, products, and Taylor series - Handle calculus tasks including derivatives, indefinite and definite integrals, and differential equations - Work with matrices and vectors: determinants, inverses, rank, RREF, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, dot products, and cross products - Graph standard functions, implicit equations and inequalities, polar curves, parametric plots, and 3D surfaces - Use logarithmic axes, inspect intersections, and adjust extra variables with sliders - Compute with complex numbers and common scientific functions - Save worksheets, keep multiple sessions, create custom functions, and export your work as PDF or SymCalc files - Learn faster with built-in function help and examples inside the app - Built for students, engineers, scientists, and anyone who needs more than a basic scientific calculator

About

Polynomial

Features
Read full description

The PolynomialSolver is carefully designed to be a simple and elegant app. Easy to use, easy to understand, simple and effective It solves (finds all the roots) polynomials of any order (any degree). Roots can be real, complex or combination of both. No problem. This app has you covered. To find all the solutions, it uses Aberth Ehrlich algorithm for higher order polynomials. The polynomial is beautifully presented in mathematical format. You can also solve multiple polynomials at once. You can also share the polynomial and its solution. Perform the polynomial division to find the quotient and remainder. This app also plots beautiful graph of the polynomial(s) so that you can visualize the solution in the graph. The graph can be shared with other or it can be saved locally on your device. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. This is a perfect app if you are a student learning to solve these kind of equations. There is also a Study page to help you with learning some important polynomial concepts. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!
