A simple, and very cool, mayan calculator and decimal conversion app. Tap or drag a glyph onto another glyph in the glyph pad to combine them. Dots can be dragged to bars, and bars to dots. This glyph pad simplifies, yet enables the full range of glyphs from 0 to 19 available as a single glyph tile in the mayan number system. Want to convert digital to Mayan? Simply tap on the digital display (at the top), when the keyboard slides up enter the digital value. Tap Done to dismiss the keyboard and see the Mayan glyphs representation. The MayanMath engine portion of this app is now open sourced on Github as Montiel-Mobile/MayanMath. This is ideal for those who want to expand on it or use it for educational purposes. Please note that the code repository does not include the entire app, only the MayanMath class. Enjoy and share!

A tool can greatly increase the speed and capability of a person to accomplish a task. This calculator tool is designed to provide Maths functions in base-20 Kaktovik numerical symbols. The best tools are designed with culture in mind. This (the first version; the Gold Edition) is an integer-only (whole numbers) calculator. See your teacher for what the term "integer" means, if you need help. It means that the division operation will be an approximation (in whole numbers only) and the remainder will be ignored. The calculation history page will show equations in both Kaktovik numerals and Arabic-Hindu (base-10) digits (turn this feature on in Settings). The Voice Over feature will produce Iñupiaq words for the equations.
