Description

PocketCAS is the most advanced mathematics application for iPhone and iPad. It can help you with any kind of math problem, from elementary school all the way up to calculus, algebra and statistics. It can replace your old graphing calculator, help you with your homework, and assist you in any kind of calculation for university or work.

This app is an indispensable tool for every student, teacher and engineer. It makes college-level calculus and algebra easy and can help you in a wide range of cases. It provides features comparable with a TI-89 calculator and combines them with a modern, intuitive interface and incredible graphics capabilities.

MATHEMATICAL CAPABILITIES
- 2D Plots: Quickly create 2D cartesian, implicit, polar or parametric plots.
- 3D Plots: PocketCAS draws stunning 3D plots! Supports x-y cartesian plots, parametric area plots and parametric line plots.
- Animated plots: Use the variable 'anim' to animate any plot over time.
- Calculus: Calculate limits, derivatives, integrals and taylor expansions.
- Linear Algebra: Invert and multiply matrices or calculate determinants, eigenvalues and much more!
- Algebra: Perform integer and polynomial factorization and division, use permutations, and more.
- Solving: PocketCAS will solve almost any equation for you. It even supports systems of linear equations and ordinary differential equations!
- Scripting: PocketCAS' C-style scripting language allows you to define custom functions, use conditional expressions, loops and also supports recursion.
- Physical Units: Constants and units are provided out of the box. Simply enter physical formulas with the corresponding units and convert results to the units you prefer.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY
- iCloud support: Sync documents between your Mac, iPhone and iPad!
- Export: Print or export plots, entries or the whole document as PDF!
- Document Import: Load functions and variables from existing documents to re-use your work in other calculations.
- CSV Import: Load tabular data in CSV format and process it!
- Mathematical keyboard: PocketCAS' mathematical keyboard is unmatched on the App Store.
- Help: All functions are explained in the built-in reference. If you're stuck, there's plenty of tutorials as well as a manual (https://pocketcas.com/manual) to get you going. And you can always contact our support (https://pocketcas.com/support) for help!
- Offline computation: PocketCAS doesn't need an internet connection to calculate results.

USER REVIEWS
"This program has an incredible amount of power for such a compact program. I teach high school math, and this program can work with all sorts of expressions, graphs, and help check my work. Definitely worth it!"

"You will love this calculator. It's powerful to calculate everything, doesn't matter you're a high school student or college student. Specially for the people who like to solve problems with graphs!"

"This app is so powerful and slick looking. It is totally amazing and what it can do."

"One of three Apps I use when teaching A Level maths. Have recommended to numerous students. Excellent."

"This is one of the best. The CAS capabilities are compatible to only two other apps, and this one is all offline and includes countless additional features. It's never steered me wrong and is the first thing I go to when I'm in a hurry to figure something out. If you're a student this is pretty much as good as it can get."

"I am 8 years old and this App is awesome! It helps you learn calculus quickly. It's a work of art!"

What’s New

Version 2023.1.9

- Updated the CAS kernel to the latest version.
- This version should finally resolve all remaining crashes on older operating system versions.
- Plots expanded using the "expand" button will now draw with a solid background instead of a semi-transparent one.
- Fixed an issue with the editor font not being saved.
- Fixed an issue with graphs drawing outside their area.
- Fixed an issue with the entry editor losing its text preference when selecting "Also recalculate next entry" while the entry editor is empty.
- Fixed an issue with expanded plots not being size correctly, due to the backgroung change mentioned above.

Good CAS app

The app is fast, good looking and is available on iOS and iPadOS.
One problem is the lack of documentation.
Another problem is that you can not export a plot in any kind of useful image format.
When you export a plot as an image you will get a tiny low-resolution png file. Using this png in a rapport, assignment or anything is far from acceptable. Exporting a plot as an SVG file will definitly be much prefered.

Edit: To be clear: I'm aware that a 2D plot can be exported as PDF. The problem is that this is not very useful for most of our use case. A SVG will be be much easier to insert in a document on in some kind of app.

Developer Response ,

Hi, PocketCAS can export 2D plots as PDF in vector-graphics format. Like SVG, that format should support very high resolutions. 3D plots need to be rasterized by the graphics card before exporting, which means that they can't be converted into a vector-graphic format. However, those should still get exported in a fairly high resolution.

If you are still struggling with getting high-resolution exports from PocketCAS, please reach out via http://pocketcas.com/contact.

The best UI of any CAS tool

PocketCAS is one of the best and most powerful calculators available.
I think it meets the needs of most people and the ammount of UI makes it right on the sweet. The interaction model is MUCH better than that of PCalc and others, because it does not try to mimmic a physical calculator. 👍

My wishlist, however:
- Better units and prefix support so that you can write something like or “10V/5R = 2I” or simply "10milli*4Kilo = 40”
- Fewer, broader functions: No need for a million different versions of simplify - would much rather let the functions take an additional argument.
- Common formulas ready to fill with data.
- Better typesetting. Often it rewrites the formula and there is no way to see if it was entered correctly. A more graphical way to input and edit would be nice as well (ala. maple)
- Better options for layout managment and export. Markdown support would be nice. I want to be able to do math homework in PocketCAS, add figures, text, references ect. directly in the document view and export it to a nice PDF or LaTeX code.
