About

ODE Solver

Features
Read full description

ODE Solver – Solve ordinary differential equations with ease. • Solve systems of ODEs with initial boundary conditions using the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method. • View results in interactive plots and lists, and export via email. • Enter variables easily using the ”$” prefix (e.g., $x, $u, $t) and let the app handle the calculations. Example: Typical Pendulum dx/dt = $u du/dt= -pi()**2/4*sin($x)-0.1*$u • Supports a full set of operators (+, -, *, /, **) and functions (sqrt, log, ln, exp). • Extensive trigonometric functions including sin, cos, tan, their inverses, reciprocals, and hyperbolic variations. • Built-in constants: π, π/2, π/4, e. • Smart entry fields: • Background changes red/green to highlight unpaired/paired parentheses. • Recognizes errors and displays warnings. • Custom keypad and cursor arrows for smooth formula editing. Perfect for engineers, students, and researchers who need fast, reliable ODE solutions on the go.

The MatrixAnalysis is carefully designed to be a simple and elegant app. This app has tools to help you analyze matrices like finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, QR, SLU, LU factorization. This app can also be used to do matrix operations like, finding inverse, determinant, dot product, cross product, and much more. You can also do elementwise operations and scalar operations. Want to do fast fourier transform (FFT) or inverse fourier transform (IFFT), this app is capable of IFFT Want to find an pseudo inverse of a non-square matrix, this app has you covered Want to know a rotation matrix for a given angle or rotate a vector by the given angle? This app has you covered. The expressions and the solutions are displayed in beautiful mathematical way. Once the expressions are solved, a beautifully written solutions are created that you can share with other or save it locally. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. There is also a Study page to help you with learning some important matrix vector formulas and some useful technique. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Matrix at every 5 weeks against ODE Solver's every 8 months. Matrix also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99). ODE Solver's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
