Highlights
  • Interactive FID and spectra simulations
  • Adjustable peak positions and decay
  • Noise and apodization control
  • Zero filling and phase correction
  • Simulate acquisition artifacts
  • Explore spin-spin coupling

NMR Tutor is an interactive introduction to NMR data acquisition and signal processing. Use simulated free induction decays (FIDs) and spectra to explore how time-domain NMR signals become frequency-domain spectra. Adjust peak positions, decay, noise, apodization, zero filling, phase behavior, and common acquisition artifacts, then see the effect immediately in the FID and final spectrum. The app displays real and imaginary FID channels before and after processing, together with the resulting spectrum after Fourier transformation. A live signal-to-noise (S/N) measurement updates as you adjust noise, scan averaging, apodization, FID artifacts, and shimming, making processing tradeoffs easy to compare. Apply zero filling to see how digital interpolation changes the appearance of the spectrum without adding new measured data. You can also introduce common receiver or acquisition faults into the FID and observe the artifacts that appear after processing. As an advanced example, add spin-spin coupling to create an AB coupling pattern, then move the peaks or change the coupling strength to compare AB behavior with an AX spin system. Charts retain every data point and support pan, zoom, phase-pivot dragging, graph audio, sharing and export, and external displays. Optimized Metal and Accelerate processing keeps high-resolution chart and shimming interactions responsive. Adaptive layouts and larger accessibility text make the workspace easier to use on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Open one-dimensional JEOL, Bruker and Varian FID datasets directly. Inspect the acquired real and imaginary channels, then apply apodization, zero filling, first-point scaling, and zero- and first-order phase correction to your own data.

Calculus you can see is calculus you can learn. Calculus: Learn & Practice turns a full first-year calculus course into one clear path: build intuition with an interactive animation, follow a worked example step by step, then prove to yourself you've got it with instantly graded practice. WHAT'S INSIDE • 111 interactive concept animations — play, scrub and watch the key change happen instead of imagining it • 336 worked examples with complete solutions, visual hints and the mistakes students usually make • 1,246 practice problems graded the moment you submit, each with a full solution • Math-history stories with the original problems: Zeno's paradoxes, Archimedes' π, Fermat and Descartes' fight over tangents • Mistake tracking and mastery per concept, so you know exactly what to review • Spaced review that brings a topic back right before you'd forget it • Study Desk: a 2-minute micro-experiment every day, a Lab Notebook for your own conjectures, and a library of 219 counterexamples • A searchable library of 12 chapters, filterable by topic, tag and difficulty TOPICS COVERED • Limits and continuity • Derivatives and differentials • Applications of derivatives — optimization, related rates, MVT, curve sketching, L'Hôpital's rule, Taylor polynomials • Integrals — FTC, substitution, integration by parts, partial fractions, improper integrals • Applications of integration — area, volume, arc length, work • Differential equations • Infinite series — convergence tests, power series, Taylor and Fourier series • Multivariable differential calculus — partial derivatives, gradient, tangent planes, Lagrange multipliers • Vectors and 3D analytic geometry • Multiple integrals — double and triple integrals, cylindrical and spherical coordinates • Line and surface integrals — Green's, divergence and Stokes' theorems Great for Calculus I, II and III, AP Calculus AB/BC review, and exam prep.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NMR Tutor at none against Calculus's 4. Calculus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
