Simple easy to use statistics program for students of high schools, colleges and universities. Adapted from SchoolStat for Macintosh released originally in 1989. Aims to facilitate teaching of introductory statistics and to be a useful tool for statistical computations anywhere an iPhone can go. - Enter data into a fully functional spreadsheet with thousands of rows and columns, name the columns and perform statistical computations with results stored in the log panel. - Spreadsheet includes functions for trigonometry, table & cell access, maths, statistics, strings, logical, date, time, financial and matrix manipulations (>180 in total). Resize cells, zoom and swipe to scroll, file saving/opening and emailing. Series and sorting functions. Quick sum, average, min, max. Intuitive cell editing and selection. - Spreadsheet also supports cut/copy/paste and shake to undo. - One, two or multiple sample statistics available for named columns including descriptive, confidence intervals, correlation, linear regression, sign test, Wilcoxon paired test, Paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Student's independent t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, One-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test. - Odds ratio and sensitivity/specificity testing. - Create graphical displays using box plots, pie chart, stem & leaf displays, histograms, linear or scatter plots. - Visualise "active" probability tables for multiple distributions to aid understanding of parameter changes for beta, binomial, Cauchy, chi square, exponential, F-, gamma, geometric, hypergeometric, logistic, lognormal, normal, Poisson, t-, Weibull distributions. - Static tables available for chi-square, F-, Inverse normal and normal, Kruskal Wallis, Mann-Whitney, T- and Wilcoxon distributions. - Log window supports annotation, text cut/copy/paste, file saving/opening/emailing, addition of time/date stamp and is automatically saved. - Graph window creates pdf resolution independent files, which can be copied, and file saving/opening/emailing. - Full help descriptions for all functions and sample spreadsheet files accompanying quick tutorial.

GraphNCalc83 uses touch, color and blazing speed to handle your math problems. The familiar calculator keyboard, arrow keys and functions are enhanced with full touch input for all graphs, editors and menus. Enter calculations in natural textbook format. Enter fractions and view result as fractions. Trace graphs with your finger. Zoom in and out with a pinch. Explore regressions with a tap on the screen. Scroll through the list, matrix and calculation history with a swipe. Tap the ? key for help. Written using the latest 64 bit math libraries, GraphNCalc83 harnesses the amazing computing resources of the iPhone and iPad to provide a colorful, fast and fluid experience. Graphs scroll, glide and zoom smoothly. Matrix, statistics and BASIC programs run 500x times faster than traditional calculators. GraphNCalc83 includes: Algebraic entry: Enter problems using full algebraic textbook notation. The command line editor includes interactive parenthesis matching and high lighting, undo and redo, bubble function help and a 200 level calculation history and recall stack. Generate a PDF report of calculations for mailing or printing using the SEND function. Math functions: Trigonometry, logarithms, function minimum, maximum, numeric integration and derivatives, general solver, real and imaginary numbers, combination, permutation, random number generation, normal, T, chi squared, Fisher, poisson and geometric distributions, binary shift and rotate, test and logic operations, list operations including sort, std. deviation, sum, sequence, matrix determinant, transpose, sum, ref, rref, addition, multiplication. Graph functions, parametric, f(x,y) and polar equations and statistics plots: Full color graphs with touch to trace, pinch zoom, function minimum, maximum, intersections, asymptotes and numeric integration. Output graphs in high resolution PDF format for mailing or printing. Interactively explore function behavior using variables tied to slider bars. Statistics, Inferential Statistics and Distributions: A set of inferential statistics worksheets and graphs of distributions are included. The regression analysis screen allows you to quickly compute, view and analyze a data set using a variety of curve fitting methods. Table: Analyze functions using the table viewer. Use the split screen mode to simultaneously view a graph and table. Matrix and Lists: Matrix and list editors and a full set of matrix and list operations are built in. Unit Converter and Constants: Convert between a wide variety of scientific, engineering and common units. A large set of physical constants are also included. BASIC programming: Create, edit, debug and run BASIC programs. Programs run more than 500 times faster than traditional calculators. Import and execute .83p and .8xp files. Chemistry: The calculator includes a full featured periodic table, a mass calculator and a data base of element properties. The touch interface allows you to view and interact with the periodic table to view by series, state, melting point, boiling point, electronegativity, electron affinity, valence, ionization, radius, hardness, modulus, density, conductivity, heat and year discovered. Geometry: The geometry application computes perimeter and area for a variety of 2d geometric figures including squares, rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, polygons, circles, arcs and ellipses.
