About

Turing Machine Simulator

This application simulates Turing Machines, a fundamental concept in computer science and mathematics for analyzing algorithm computability. It offers a digital alternative to paper-and-pencil simulations, allowing users to write, execute, and analyze programs step-by-step with adjustable execution speeds.

Highlights
  • Turing Machine simulation
  • Program execution and analysis
  • Step-by-step execution
  • Adjustable execution speed
  • Export/import programs via email
  • Includes example programs

This app is a Turing Machine Simulator. Students of computer science and maths are probably familar with Turing Machines, because the Turing Machine is one of the important models when analyzing if mathematical problems or algorithms are computable. Usually dealing with Turing machines requires paper and pencil for simulating the program execution. This app can help by providing several ways to execute Turing programs and analyze it in an easy and comfortable way. You can write new programs for the Turing Machine, execute them and analyze the execution even step by step. It's also possible to change the speed of the execution. It's possible to export and import Turing programs using email. The app comes with some example Turing programs to play with.

Equation

Features
Read full description

The EquationSolver is carefully designed to be a simple and elegant app. Easy to use, easy to understand, simple and effective It solves system of linear equations, simultaneous linear equations (no limit on the number of equations). It also teaches you the steps to solve such systems. To find a solution, it uses Matrix inversion method or LU decomposition method when inverse is not possible or complicated. The equations are beautifully presented in both: 1) Set of individual equations form 2) Matrix-vector product form. You can also share the beautifully written solution 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 linear algebra formulas. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Equation at monthly against Turing Machine Simulator's every 19 months. Equation also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Turing Machine Simulator's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
