CalcRef is the complete calculus reference and study tool built for students. Whether you are preparing for AP Calculus, college exams, or reviewing core concepts, CalcRef puts every formula, table, and practice tool you need in one offline app. FORMULAS Browse over 100 calculus formulas across 8 topics: Limits and Continuity, Derivatives, Applications of Derivatives, Integrals, Techniques of Integration, Applications of Integrals, Sequences and Series, and Parametric, Polar, and Vectors. Every formula includes LaTeX-rendered notation, a plain-language description, conditions for use, and variable definitions. Computational formulas include a built-in calculator with step-by-step solutions. REFERENCE TABLES Six tables provide instant access to the essentials: - Derivative Rules (power, trig, exponential, logarithmic, inverse trig) - Integral Formulas (standard antiderivatives with conditions) - Trigonometric Identities (Pythagorean, double angle, half angle, sum/difference) - Convergence Tests (ratio, root, integral, comparison, alternating series) - Maclaurin Series (common expansions with convergence intervals) - Unit Circle (sin, cos, tan at standard angles in degrees and radians) PRACTICE Test your knowledge with flashcard-style quizzes. Each round presents 10 cards from a chosen topic or a mix of all topics. Flip to reveal each formula, mark it correct or missed, and review your score. Track your progress over time with per-topic stats and quiz history. TOOLS A unit converter covering 16 categories (length, area, volume, mass, force, pressure, temperature, energy, power, velocity, acceleration, density, viscosity, torque, flow rate, and angle) is accessible from any screen. A database of mathematical constants provides precise values for pi, e, the golden ratio, and more. BUILT FOR STUDYING Bookmark formulas to Favorites for quick access. Search finds any formula or constant as you type. Calculation history logs every result. Create and save your own custom formulas. Choose dark or light theme, set decimal precision, and toggle scientific notation. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

MathPlot turns abstract equations into tangible, interactive experiences. Whether you're learning algebra for the first time or looking for a fun brain teaser, MathPlot makes mastering math simple and intuitive. Every slider you adjust and every marble you roll teaches you how math works under the hood. THREE STEPS TO MASTERY Adjust the Parameters: Use intuitive sliders to change values like slope, amplitude, and frequency. See the graph update instantly as you experiment. Roll the Marble: Press "Run Marble" and watch it travel along your curve. It accelerates downhill and slows on climbs โ€” just like real physics. Collect All Stars: Your goal is to make the marble pass through every star. Collect all of them to complete the level and unlock the next challenge! KEY FEATURES Interactive Gameplay: Watch equations come alive as you shape graphs in real time. Deep Learning Insights: Tap the info button on any level to get detailed breakdowns of each parameter (like slope, y-intercept, amplitude, and phase shift) and what it does to the graph. Knowledge Quizzes: Complete all levels in a category to unlock quizzes. Prove your understanding of each function type with challenging questions. 3D Visualization: Toggle into 3D mode to see your function from every angle. Drag to rotate and pinch to zoom to experience math in a whole new dimension. Progressive Difficulty: Start with simple slopes and work your way up to trigonometric waves and exponential growth. Each level builds on what you've learned. FIVE WORLDS OF FUNCTIONS โ€ข Linear: Straight lines with slope and intercept. โ€ข Quadratic: Parabolas that open up or down. โ€ข Polynomial: Curves with twists and turns. โ€ข Trigonometric: Waves that oscillate up and down. โ€ข Exponential: Rapidly growing or decaying curves. Ready to make math fun? Download MathPlot and start your journey through the world of functions today! Completely free to play, with no ads, and it works fully offline.
