NUMEN

"Not solving math — the moment you start to feel it." NUMEN is not a problem-set app. It's an app for everyone who once gave up on math — and wants to recover the sense of it. ■ A different approach Other math apps: Definition → Formula → Practice → Wrong answer NUMEN: Experience → Pattern → Intuition → Definition You touch with your finger. You drag a slider. You watch values change. Each fraction slice, each function curve, each direction of a negative number — every concept comes alive as moving math, not memorized math. ■ Who is this for? · Middle and high school students who lost the thread · People burned out on classroom-style explanations · Adults who want to understand investing, statistics, or AI · Anyone who wants to feel "I wasn't bad at math — the connections were just broken" ■ What's inside · Interactive lessons you actually touch 33 lessons across 10 phases — sense, relations, change, chance, shape, cycles, limit, slope, accumulation, direction · Intuition first, definition later See the phenomenon, find the pattern, then meet the formal name · 5–10 minute daily sessions Light enough to keep, deep enough to transform · Daily streaks A little, every day — that's how sense rebuilds · Four languages Korean · English · Japanese · Simplified Chinese — every lesson body translated · iPhone · iPad universal · Fully offline No ads. No tracking. No data collection. No internet calls. ■ Why NUMEN? You weren't bad at math. Only the connections between concepts were broken. NUMEN was designed — by hand, with care — to reconnect them. "Oh — I wasn't dumb. The connections were just broken." That moment is what NUMEN is built for. ■ Privacy by design NUMEN collects zero personal information. All progress is stored only on your device. No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no external APIs. ■ Pricing · The app itself — free to download · Phase 1–3 (12 lessons, ≈ 60 min of content) — free · Phase 4–10 (21 lessons) — single one-time in-app purchase, unlocks forever. No ads, no subscription, no renewal. ■ Coming next · More lessons within Phase 5–10 · Personal review / notes screen Begin today. Mathematical sense is not memorized — it is recovered.

About

QM Simulator

Features
Read full description

QM Simulator is a hands-on quantum physics atlas: 54 interactive simulation modules spanning the full arc from quantum foundations to quantum information, paired with 47 bilingual articles. Every computation and rendering happens on your device — no network, no sign-up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Play with parameters: adjust slit spacing, raise a potential barrier, tune cavity coupling — every chart recomputes in real time. • Learn by level: Basics → Advanced (perturbation, degeneracy, radiation) → Topics (Bell inequalities, quantum error correction, Grover's algorithm), from high-school extension to university QM. • Read linked notes: each article is tied to its simulation, with formulas and figures side by side — switch between Chinese and English anytime. • Explore freely: Bloch sphere, hydrogen wavefunctions, blackbody radiation, Compton scattering, Kronig–Penney, BB84 quantum key distribution — from Planck's 1900 hypothesis to today's quantum computing. WHO IT'S FOR • Physics students: turn textbook formulas into images you can see and manipulate. • Educators & researchers: validate intuitions and demonstrate in class. • The curious: no derivation skills needed — dial the parameters and build quantum intuition. HIGHLIGHTS • 54 simulation modules, all driven by real physics computation (not pre-baked animations). • 47 in-depth articles, fully bilingual, with figures and code. • Fully offline: no ads, no purchases, no tracking, no account required. • Chinese & English UI, follows system language. Educational use: QM Simulator works as a lecture-demonstration companion for quantum mechanics courses.

Verdict

The call

NUMEN and QM Simulator are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
