MATH GRAPHING 2.0 is a unique graphing app to plot simultaneously multiple mathematical expressions of arbitrary complexity using static and dynamic variables (including a time variable and random generation functions). It also includes a standard calculator mode that allows simultaneous evaluations of any number of intermediary variables. "Math Graphing" can help students improve their math skills by developing some visual intuition of mathematical expressions or advanced users who need some scientific capabilities only available with expensive desktop software. MATH GRAPHING provides the following functionalities: - Multiple expressions with quasi-unlimited number of variables can be combined to produce simple or complex formulas. - Interactive sliders can be created to visually investigate the role of important parameters on the graphical representation of the formulas. - Trace mode to display coordinates and derivative of marker on selected curve. - Landscape mode for graphing. - Solver tool to solve y = f(x) where x or y are unknown, local/global minima/maxima/extrema or intersections g(x) = f(x). - Formula graphs can be saved to the device's Photos Album and the formulas can be exported through email with embedded graphs. - Add any formula or calculation to your list of favorites (in-app purchase). - Several formulas can be plotted simultaneously in different colors and styles. - Customizable graph appearance: axes labels and ranges, title, curve color and style, ticks number, grid, legends, etc. - A single-precision calculator supporting multiple variables. Example of mathematical expression: # Gabor function with multiple plots # 2 static parameters: center & phase center = 0; phase = 90 # 2 dynamic parameters: sigma & freq sigma = 1:50; freq = 0:0.2 u = cos(2*pi*(x-50)*freq+phase*pi/180) v = e^(-((x-center)^2)/(2*sigma^2)) y = u*v plot(u,'lr'); plot(v,'lg'); plot(y,'lw') xlabel('distance'); ylabel('amplitude') title('Gabor Function') Please visit our "Math Graphing" web page (http://ios.kybervision.com/mathgraphing/) to learn more about "Math Graphing"!

Console for MATLAB programming
This app provides a MATLAB interpreter for iOS devices, allowing users to run code and create interactive plots entirely on-device. It's ideal for students and learners who need a functional MATLAB environment without cloud reliance.
- On-device MATLAB computation
- Interactive 2D/3D plots
- Syntax highlighting
- Offline document access
- MATLAB function support
- Plot configuration without coding

Console allows you to run MATLAB code on iOS devices. It comes with a MATLAB interpreter that supports functions frequently used by college students or learners. Individuals who do not need specialised functions should find this app a valuable tool. Console is powered by the same MATLAB interpreter of our flagship app, SIMO. Before purchasing SIMO, you should download Console to see if this interpreter is adequate for your work. We continue to expand its capability by supporting more functions and language syntax in future updates. While other similar apps perform computation on the cloud, Console executes MATLAB code using the on-board silicon. Internet connection is not required — even the documents are offline accessible within the app. Being able to use the app without internet connectivity is a great benefit for users with non-cellular iPads. Another great benefit is that plots are interactive and responsive since they are rendered in real-time by the on-board GPU. Console has 4 key components: 1. Console Input, where you input MATLAB statements. It supports - Line numbering - Syntax highlighting for MATLAB keywords and built-in functions. - Auto-indent. 2. Console Output, where the results are displayed. It supports - Full-text search - Variable view height to fit the contents. 3. Figure, where 2D or 3D plots are displayed. It supports - Multi-touch gestures for zoom, pan, and rotate (3D plots). - Attributes (such as axis labels, ticks, limits, line colour) can be configured using the built-in tool. No coding is required. - Sharing plots as images with third party apps. - Saving plots. 4. Documents, which contains the full set of SIMO documents accessible offline. - MATLAB functions. - Tutorials on MATLAB language basics. - Searchable by document title and contents.
