Math Zen is a math practice app built for real exam performance, not a calculator that does your homework for you. Work through algorithmically generated problems that cover the topics and skills tested on real exams. The adaptive mastery-based progression system tracks your accuracy and adjusts difficulty automatically: struggle with a concept, and it comes back for review; master it, and you advance. Practice offline, anytime, with zero distractions. AP PRECALCULUS, AP CALCULUS, SAT AND ACT MATH PREP Math Zen has dedicated exam paths for the tests US students actually take: • AP Precalculus: polynomial, rational, exponential, log and trig functions, plus rates of change from tables and graphs. • AP Calculus AB: particle motion, optimization, related rates, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, accumulation functions, and free-response questions with linked parts. • AP Calculus BC: everything in AB plus series, parametric equations, and polar coordinates. • SAT Math: 40 SAT-style templates across Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, and Geometry and Trigonometry, with word problems, data and charts. • ACT Math: algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry and statistics, from radical equations to circles, two-way tables and charts. Exam prep problems follow each test's format: multi-part questions where each part builds on the last, Kyōtsū Test digit boxes, Suneung short answers, and five-option ENEM questions. Also included: IB Math AA, Hong Kong DSE (Compulsory, M1, M2), A-Level Maths, Taiwan GSAT and AST Math A, Gaokao, Suneung, Kyōtsū Test, Abitur, Baccalauréat, Selectividad, EXANI-II, ENEM, FUVEST, VWO Wiskunde, Högskoleprovet, and Polish Matura paths. 24 TOPICS, 870+ PROBLEM TEMPLATES Six sections covering math from arithmetic through university-level content: Algebra: Arithmetic, Algebra, Complex Numbers, Logarithms Precalculus: Functions, Graph Analysis, Hyperbolic Functions, Sequences & Series Calculus: Limits, Derivatives, Integrals, Differential Equations, Partial Derivatives, Parametric Equations, Polar Coordinates, Multiple Integrals, Laplace Transforms Geometry & Trigonometry: Geometry, Trigonometry Linear Algebra: Vectors, Matrices, Abstract Algebra Discrete Math: Probability, Statistics 238 subtopics. 870+ algorithmically generated templates. Every session is different. KEY FEATURES Mastery-Based Progression: A five-level bucket system tracks your accuracy within each subtopic and advances you from easy to hard as you demonstrate understanding. Theory Built In: Every subtopic carries the rules its own problems need, with worked examples. Tap Show the rule the moment an answer comes out wrong, or open it from the header mid-problem. Mistake Journal: Every wrong answer is captured automatically. Come back later and retry that exact problem type with fresh numbers, until the concept clicks. Visual Problems: Interactive graphs, geometric diagrams, and animated transformations. Offline First: The whole app works without internet. Practice on a plane or subway; progress syncs when you reconnect. Dark Mode: Follows your system setting, or pin it to light or dark. No Ads, Ever: Clean, focused, distraction-free. No ads, no coins, no lives. 12 Languages: English, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch, Polish. PERFECT FOR • Students preparing for AP Calculus AB/BC, SAT Math, ACT Math, or IB Math • High school students in Algebra 2, Precalculus, or Calculus • University students in Calculus I/II, Linear Algebra, or Differential Equations • Self-learners who want structured math practice at their own pace SUBSCRIPTION Math Zen is free to start with access to core topics. Premium unlocks the full topic library, all exam prep paths, and detailed analytics.

Features
Read full description

Calculus Practice is an educational application designed to help students strengthen their understanding of calculus through structured practice questions. The app provides chapter-wise quizzes, mock tests, and daily practice questions covering key calculus topics. Students can practice conceptual problems, solve numerical exercises, and track their progress using statistics. The app supports independent learning and systematic revision of fundamental calculus concepts used in mathematics, engineering, and science courses. Topics Included 1. Limits and Continuity Concept of limits, left-hand and right-hand limits, limit laws, continuity of functions, and different types of discontinuities. 2. Derivatives and Differentiation Derivative definition, differentiation rules, higher-order derivatives, implicit differentiation, logarithmic differentiation, and differentiability conditions. 3. Applications of Derivatives Rates of change, increasing and decreasing functions, maxima and minima, tangent and normal lines, linear approximations, and curve sketching. 4. Indefinite Integrals Concept of integration, standard integration formulas, substitution method, integration by parts, partial fractions, and trigonometric integrals. 5. Definite Integrals Definite integral concept, fundamental theorem of calculus, properties of definite integrals, area under curves, substitution methods, and evaluation techniques. 6. Applications of Integration Area between curves, volume of solids, surface area of revolution, work done calculations, average value of functions, and physical applications. 7. Differential Equations Definition of differential equations, order and degree, separable equations, homogeneous equations, linear differential equations, and practical applications. 8. Advanced Calculus Concepts Series expansions, Taylor and Maclaurin series, improper integrals, multivariable functions, and partial derivatives. Key Features Chapter-wise calculus practice quizzes Mock tests for overall assessment Daily quiz for regular practice Performance statistics to track progress Clear topic organization for systematic study Simple and distraction-free interface Calculus Practice is suitable for students studying calculus in mathematics, science, and engineering courses who want structured practice and regular revision.
