PocketCAS is the most advanced mathematics application for iPhone and iPad. It can help you with any kind of math problem, from elementary school all the way up to calculus, algebra and statistics. It can replace your old graphing calculator, help you with your homework, and assist you in any kind of calculation for university or work. This app is an indispensable tool for every student, teacher and engineer. It makes college-level calculus and algebra easy and can help you in a wide range of cases. It provides features comparable with a TI-89 calculator and combines them with a modern, intuitive interface and incredible graphics capabilities. MATHEMATICAL CAPABILITIES - 2D Plots: Quickly create 2D cartesian, implicit, polar or parametric plots. - 3D Plots: PocketCAS draws stunning 3D plots! Supports x-y cartesian plots, parametric area plots and parametric line plots. - Animated plots: Use the variable 'anim' to animate any plot over time. - Calculus: Calculate limits, derivatives, integrals and taylor expansions. - Linear Algebra: Invert and multiply matrices or calculate determinants, eigenvalues and much more! - Algebra: Perform integer and polynomial factorization and division, use permutations, and more. - Solving: PocketCAS will solve almost any equation for you. It even supports systems of linear equations and ordinary differential equations! - Scripting: PocketCAS' C-style scripting language allows you to define custom functions, use conditional expressions, loops and also supports recursion. - Physical Units: Constants and units are provided out of the box. Simply enter physical formulas with the corresponding units and convert results to the units you prefer. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY - iCloud support: Sync documents between your Mac, iPhone and iPad! - Export: Print or export plots, entries or the whole document as PDF! - Document Import: Load functions and variables from existing documents to re-use your work in other calculations. - CSV Import: Load tabular data in CSV format and process it! - Mathematical keyboard: PocketCAS' mathematical keyboard is unmatched on the App Store. - Help: All functions are explained in the built-in reference. If you're stuck, there's plenty of tutorials as well as a manual (https://pocketcas.com/manual) to get you going. And you can always contact our support (https://pocketcas.com/support) for help! - Offline computation: PocketCAS doesn't need an internet connection to calculate results. USER REVIEWS "This program has an incredible amount of power for such a compact program. I teach high school math, and this program can work with all sorts of expressions, graphs, and help check my work. Definitely worth it!" "You will love this calculator. It's powerful to calculate everything, doesn't matter you're a high school student or college student. Specially for the people who like to solve problems with graphs!" "This app is so powerful and slick looking. It is totally amazing and what it can do." "One of three Apps I use when teaching A Level maths. Have recommended to numerous students. Excellent." "This is one of the best. The CAS capabilities are compatible to only two other apps, and this one is all offline and includes countless additional features. It's never steered me wrong and is the first thing I go to when I'm in a hurry to figure something out. If you're a student this is pretty much as good as it can get." "I am 8 years old and this App is awesome! It helps you learn calculus quickly. It's a work of art!"

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GraphMath at Free against Mathematics with PocketCAS Pro's $19.99. GraphMath also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Mathematics with PocketCAS Pro's advantage is ratings volume (526 vs 12) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
