Mathematics with PocketCAS Pro vs MathStudio

PocketCAS is a graphing calculator and computer algebra system for iPhone and iPad. It graphs your functions, gives exact answers and shows the steps behind derivatives and integrals. Everything runs on your device, so it works without internet or an account, and you buy it once instead of paying for a subscription. Graphs - 2D plots of functions, implicit equations, polar and parametric curves, run charts and vector fields. PocketCAS marks zeros, extrema and intersections. In full screen, tap a mark to read its coordinates. - 3D surfaces and space curves with soft light and shading. Drag to turn them, pinch to zoom, add a floor grid or pick another color map. - Animated plots: use the variable anim in any plot. Suggestions and steps - Under each function, suggestions show what to look at next: its derivative, zeros, extrema, integral or a plot. The answer is already in the suggestion. Tap it to add it to your document. - Functions get a small plot right beside the result. - Calculation steps show the rules behind a derivative, an integral, a differential equation or an extremum, one row per rule. Exact answers - Algebra: solve equations and systems, simplify, expand and factor expressions, divide polynomials. - Calculus: limits, derivatives, integrals, Taylor series and sums. - Linear algebra: matrices, determinants, inverses, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. - Differential equations: ordinary differential equations, solved exactly. - Units and constants: enter physical formulas with units and convert the results. - Scripts: define your own functions with conditions, loops and recursion. Reads like your textbook - Results look the way they do in a textbook: fractions, roots, sums, integrals and matrices. Long results wrap to the width of your screen. - A math keyboard with every function in reach. Your recent functions sit above it, and a hint shows what goes between the brackets. Made for daily work - Documents keep your calculations and plots together, so you can pick up where you left off. - iCloud syncs your documents between iPhone, iPad and Mac. The Mac app is a separate purchase. - Export: print or share plots, entries or whole documents as PDF. - Import: reuse functions from other documents, or load data from CSV files. - Help built in: the reference explains every function with examples, and tutorials get you started. A free version, PocketCAS Lite, lets you try the interface and many features first. What users say "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!" "One of three Apps I use when teaching A Level maths. Have recommended to numerous students. Excellent." "This app is amazing and could help me with about 98% of the math that I had to do during my mechanical engineering degree all the way from my bachelor to my master." Questions or ideas?

MathStudio brings unprecedented computational power to your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. From building simple algorithms to creating interactive plots and animations, MathStudio bridges the gap between technology and your imagination. "It is a programming tour-de-force, and really does provide a substantial subset of the functionality of desktop powerhouses like Mathematica and Maple." ▸ Simply the best calc app by ilachina Develop your ideas to their fullest extent with MathStudio's expressive scripting language that features new syntax to do amazing things with just a few lines of code. Research and development in the scientific, engineering, mathematical and computing fields almost always involves the need for a scripting language to take your results one step further. Sync your documents with iCloud and have access from any device including your Mac. "Perfect app for quick, powerful computation and visualization. I keep using it instead of Mathematica on my home computer because it's just so convenient. I can't believe how well it renders the evolution of such complex systems. I am blown away." ▸ Mini Mathematica by Professor Dave MathStudio goes beyond a traditional graphing calculator by combining the power of the fastest proprietary computer algebra system available on iOS that can create cartesian, parametric, polar, implicit, vector fields, cylindrical, spherical, regression and image plots. Plot time graphs using the T variable to create animated plots that graph in space and time! "This app really goes beyond your typical graphing calculator as well. How? By allowing you to interact with the graphs that you generate by touching them! I could go on and on about this app, but If you're still reading this review, let's just say that you're probably not going to find a better graphing calculator than this in the App Store." ▸ Replace your old graphing calculator! by AppShouter From basic calculations to college calculus, MathStudio is a full featured scientific calculator and is an indispensable tool for students, teachers and engineers. It provides features that go beyond what you will find in traditional TI calculators with a modern and intuitive interface with hundreds of mathematical functions that cover Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Finite Math and Linear Algebra. "This app is way more than a graphing calculator. Capabilities like solving differential equations, preforming matrix factorizations and many more place it in a league of its own for hand held computation. The interface is simple and the extensive catalog makes it easy to quickly learn how to execute any operation. As an undergraduate math and physics student, this app has completely replaced my TI and drastically reduced the time I spend on MATLAB and Mathematica. I would recommend MathStudio to anyone!" ▸ Amazing Capabilities by Mac-Lover From unit conversions to compound unit arithmetic, MathStudio includes complete support for units with intuitive syntax. Plot lists of data with powerful regression analysis functions, invert and multiply matrices, calculate determinants, solve derivatives, integrals, limits, differential equations and more with the most powerful computing app available on iOS. "This app offers so much, and everyone can learn from it. Amazing 3D graphics, intuitively designed with the end user in mind. It is apps such as MathStudio, that show us why the App Store for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad is by far the best for mobile devices." ▸ Creatively genius by howwaya Are you a user from Mathematica or MATLAB? MathStudio offers much of the same functionality! For more help getting starting using MathStudio visit our discussion forums. http://discuss.mathstud.io
