Vector Field lets you create and visualize mathematical vector fields with thousands of animated particles. Enter your own equations, adjust the simulation instantly, and watch how particles move through 2D, 3D, or spherical spaces. Whether you are studying differential equations, experimenting with dynamical systems, teaching vector calculus, or simply exploring mathematical patterns, Vector Field turns equations into interactive motion. Features: • Visualize vector fields in 2D, 3D, and on a sphere • Define custom dx, dy, and dz equations using x, y, z, and time t • Use built-in function presets or save your own • Adjust particle speed, density, lifetime, colors, and ranges • Animate time-dependent fields • Normalize vectors to focus on direction • Rotate 3D views interactively • Powered by Metal for smooth real-time rendering • Create, tweak, and discover vector fields directly from your device.

About

Drawing with Math

This app offers vector and pixel art editors with tools for free drawing, shapes, and function plotting. It allows for linear transformations of images using matrices, eigenvalues, and rotations, alongside pixel image compression.

Highlights
  • Vector and pixel art editors
  • Free drawing and shape tools
  • Function plotting (Cartesian, polar, parametric)
  • Linear image transformations (matrix, rotation)
  • Pixel image compression
  • Editable greeting cards

Read full description

Our “Drawing with Math (Vector and Pixel Art)” app combines two main components: * uniquely versatile image editors, * various methods of linear transformations of both user-entered and system images. Image editors are available in vector and pixelated forms. The editors offer such options as: * free drawing, * entry of all standard shapes, * entry of regular Cartesian, polar, or parametric function into image editor. List of several visually appealing functions is provided. The App stores 10 most recent user entries for each type. Vector images can be linearly transformed in a variety of user-defined ways: * 2x2 matrix, * eigenvalues and eigenvectors, * rotation by degree, * reflection across a given vector. Pixelated images can be compressed by segments to user-selected rank. Mathematical context for the above is provided, whenever possible. Explanation of image compression algorithms requires significant understanding of Linear Algebra, and is available in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Several bonus images with animations and editable greeting cards are also available. Suggestions and any other feedback are welcome! Write to us at graphmath@aol.com.

Verdict

The call

Vector Field and Drawing with Math both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Drawing with Math's written reviews are positive against 63% of Vector Field's. Drawing with Math also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Vector Field's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
