SolvedBooks is a free study companion for university and graduate students working through classic mathematics textbooks. Every solution is written from scratch by a working mathematician β not scraped, paraphrased, or copied from any publisher's solutions manual. Each exercise gets a complete worked proof in clean LaTeX, plus a brief final-answer summary. Currently covered β 1,400+ exercises: β’ Serge Lang β Undergraduate Algebra, 3rd Edition β’ Sheldon Axler β Linear Algebra Done Right, 4th Edition β’ John M. Lee β Introduction to Smooth Manifolds, 2nd Edition (GTM 218) β’ John M. Lee β Riemannian Manifolds: An Introduction to Curvature (GTM 176) How it works Question groups (5 exercises each) are locked by default. Tap "Watch ad to unlock" once per group and the unlock is permanent on your device. There is no in-app purchase to remove ads β the ads pay to maintain the app and cover more textbooks over time. What you will not find here β’ The original textbook problem statements β they are intentionally not reproduced β’ Hints, figures, or solutions copied from any publisher's manual β’ Accounts or cross-device sync β v1 is local-only and works offline Pen before Peek Please attempt each exercise yourself first. Productive struggle is where the mathematics lives. SolvedBooks is for the moments where you genuinely need a worked solution to keep moving forward, not a shortcut around the thinking. About the developer Built by Chris Pun, a math graduate working in differential geometry. If you find an error in a solution, or want a particular textbook covered, please get in touch β every piece of feedback is read. Independent study aid.

MatrixViz makes linear algebra and computer graphics understandable by turning the maths into interactive visuals. Built for complete beginners, MatrixViz lets you drag vectors, reshape matrices, move cameras, adjust projections, and immediately see what each formula does. Every learning module connects a plain-language idea to a guided experiment, a live visual, the underlying equation, and a symbol-by-symbol explanation. LEARN LINEAR ALGEBRA VISUALLY β’ Explore vectors in 2D and 3D β’ Turn matrix columns into draggable handles β’ See rotation, scale, shear, reflection, and composition happen live β’ Understand determinants, inverse matrices, span, basis, and independence β’ Discover eigenvectors by finding the directions a transformation cannot turn UNDERSTAND COMPUTER GRAPHICS β’ Follow coordinates from object space to the screen β’ Inspect model, view, and projection matrices β’ Compare perspective and orthographic projection β’ Learn cameras, frustums, lighting, normals, depth, blending, winding, and culling β’ Experiment with Metal shader patterns using beginner-friendly visual controls LEARN BY DOING β’ Guided lessons paired with the real interactive modules β’ Always-visible formulas and plain-language symbol keys β’ Sliders and direct manipulation instead of code-first controls β’ Saved sandbox presets for returning to experiments β’ Adaptive layouts for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro β’ Light and dark appearance options MATRIXVIZ PRO Optional MatrixViz Pro unlocks iCloud lesson-progress sync, educator presentation mode, and 1080p matrix-animation export across supported Apple platforms.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SolvedBooks at none against Linear Algebra's 1. SolvedBooks also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). Linear Algebra's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
