Drawing with Math vs The Matrix Mentor
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Drawing with Math
This app offers vector and pixel art editors with tools for free drawing, shapes, and function plotting. It allows for linear transformations of images using matrices, eigenvalues, and rotations, alongside pixel image compression.
- Vector and pixel art editors
- Free drawing and shape tools
- Function plotting (Cartesian, polar, parametric)
- Linear image transformations (matrix, rotation)
- Pixel image compression
- Editable greeting cards

Our “Drawing with Math (Vector and Pixel Art)” app combines two main components: * uniquely versatile image editors, * various methods of linear transformations of both user-entered and system images. Image editors are available in vector and pixelated forms. The editors offer such options as: * free drawing, * entry of all standard shapes, * entry of regular Cartesian, polar, or parametric function into image editor. List of several visually appealing functions is provided. The App stores 10 most recent user entries for each type. Vector images can be linearly transformed in a variety of user-defined ways: * 2x2 matrix, * eigenvalues and eigenvectors, * rotation by degree, * reflection across a given vector. Pixelated images can be compressed by segments to user-selected rank. Mathematical context for the above is provided, whenever possible. Explanation of image compression algorithms requires significant understanding of Linear Algebra, and is available in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step” app. Several bonus images with animations and editable greeting cards are also available. Suggestions and any other feedback are welcome! Write to us at graphmath@aol.com.

Are matrices getting you down? Don’t worry… THE MATRIX MENTOR IS HERE TO HELP The Matrix Mentor provides a visual understanding of linear transformations. Where others may teach you the mathematical rules that can be hard to remember, our playground provides a visual and interactive demonstration of the inner workings. SCARED OF MATRICES? DON'T BE! At its core, The Matrix Mentor is a visual learning tool, designed to bring matrices from an abstract mathematical concept to a concrete application. Whether you think about vectors as 3D points or a RGB color value, the fundamentals hold true. - Experiment with different types of transformations - Discover how matrices interact with a given vector, or a whole grid of points - Develop your intuitive sense for reading matrices and linear transformations Do yourself a favour, and start playing with The Matrix Mentor today!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Matrix Mentor at every 4 days against Drawing with Math's fortnightly. Drawing with Math's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
