![]() ![]() There is a tutorial option, but it is not incredibly intuitive. Likewise, even mathematical functions and tools that I was extremely familiar with left me somewhat confused. Yes, I know what a Mobius graph looked like, but I wasn?t quite sure how to interpret the information that the app was presenting to me. While I was familiar with the equations and terms used, actually using the app proved to be surprisingly difficult simply due to a lack of familiarity. I am sure someone like Leanna would have jumped right in and had little difficulty, but it has been almost 20 years since I took a calculus, differential equations, number theory, or any of the other required math courses for my minor. ![]() It?s been a long time since I have taken advanced math courses, so I started using the app with some trepidation. The scripting language is relatively easy to understand ? you type exactly as you would write down equations and expressions on a piece of paper. It seems like a full features math programing language ? similar to the computer software package ?Mathmatica?. It is designed to do more than simply replace a scientific calculator ? it is designed to be a complex graphic calculator, conduct basic statistics, create scripts for solving variables, even sold calculus problems involving limits, integrals, and derivatives! Basically, it is a one-stop math bonanza.įor someone who uses mathematics, the features included in his app are?well?pretty incredible. MathStudio (previously known as the cheaper app SpaceTime) is basically a ?everything you can do with math? app. MathStudio was one of the first ones I saw. As part of this preparation, I decided to look at some mathematics applications available for the iPad (and iPhone). I am in the process of developing a ?mathematics for biology teachers? course, and we are considering using iPads to help future teachers learn how to teach mathematics. ? Many many features for mathematic calculations and graphing ![]() Math Studio, by Pomegranate Software (universal binary) ![]()
