Prairial vs Polynomial Solver Step by Step
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Prairial
This utility converts between the standard Gregorian calendar and the historical French Revolution calendar. It offers a widget for the current date in the Revolutionary era and an Apple Watch companion with dual display options, including decimal time.
- Gregorian to French Revolution calendar conversion
- Today screen widget
- Apple Watch companion app
- Decimal time display
- Standard image representation of months

Prairial is a calendar utility that allows converting between the standard calendar (a.k.a. Greogorian) and the short-lived French Revolution one. The Today screen widget presents the present date of the Revolution era. The Apple Watch companion presents the present date of the Revolution era on 2 alternate screens, one with the standard image representation of the month, and the decimal time of the day (10 hours of 100 minutes of 100 seconds).
Polynomial Solver Step by Step
This app serves as a calculator and educational tool for students learning algebra. It offers step-by-step explanations for polynomial operations, root finding, and advanced iterative solving methods, complemented by interactive graphs.
- Polynomial multiplication and division
- Rational root finding algorithm
- Iterative solving methods (Durand-Kerner, Aberth, Newton, etc.)
- Interactive polynomial and derivative graphs
- Complex plane visualizations of algorithms
- Links to online references

Polynomial Solver Step by Step is a calculator, and, more importantly, a teaching tool. It is designed to help students of both basic and advanced levels. Basic Algebra functions: 1. Polynomial multiplication. 2. Polynomial long division with step by step explanation. 3. Algorithm for finding rational roots consisting of the following: a. Finding all possible rational roots. b. Eliminating the roots outside bounds. c. Performing polynomial long division for each of the roots. d. Adjusting bounds based on long division results if appropriate. Iterative polynomial solving algorithms for advanced-level students: 1. Durand-Kerner method. 2. Aberth method. 3. Newton method with both real and complex starting points. 4. Global (also known as "damped") Newton method with both real and complex starting points. 5. Laguerre method with both real and complex starting points. 6. Bairstow method. 7. Muller method. 8. Eigenvalues of ‘companion matrix’ (demonstration of QR algorithm for eigenvalue calculation is available in our “Matrix Solver Step by Step" app). Interactive graphs are available for: 1. Polynomial functions and their derivatives. 2. Aberth and Durand-Kerner method points on complex plane. 3. Newton, global Newton, Laguerre, and Muller algorithm steps. 4. Newton and global Newton method fractals / convergence images on complex plane 5. Laguerre method convergence images on complex plane 6 Bairstow method convergence images depending on initial approximation values. 7 Muller method convergence images depending on initial approximation values. (Images 4-7 have adjustable settings for area, resolution and shading). Links to online references are included. Please write to us if you like to have new features / chapters added!
