Report an issue** I recommend buying EduCalc Pro instead of this app. That said, I will be maintaining this app. **
Features:
1) Scientific Calculator. A lot of thought has gone into the design of the keyboard, which gives you everything you need while keeping the keys as large as possible. Available functions include the following:
• the usual arithmetic functions and exponentiation. • square root, cube root, nth root, natural log, log base 10, log of arbitrary base, absolute value, factorial, permutations (nPr), combinations (nCr), modulus, random integer, bell curve, cumulative normal distribution. • Define and name your own constants • Summations • Complex numbers! • Sig figs (requires iOS 6; enable under settings) • Programmable keys (enable under settings)
2) Graphing. Capabilities: • Graph up to nine equations at once. • Graphs are labeled. • You can drag the graph or pinch to zoom in or out. • Calculator can find roots and intersections. • Can graph in polar coordinates. • Can graph parametric equations. • Can graph parametric equations. • Can graph implicit functions, such as x^2+y^2-4=0. Most calculator apps can't do this!
3) Vector and Matrix calculator. Vector dot and cross products. Multiply and add matrices. Determinant, transpose, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors.
4) It can make a table of the values of any function you care to enter. You can choose the starting x value of the table, as well as how much x increases for each successive row.
5) Triangle solver. Enter three sides, two sides and an angle, or two angles and a side, and the solver calculates the rest.
6) Polynomial solvers. Find roots of linear, quadratic, or cubic polynomials.
7) The reference hits the high points of the following subjects: algebra, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, vectors, vector calculus, and classical mechanics. So if you need a reminder of a trig identity . . . or the quadratic formula . . . or the chain rule from calculus . . . and so on, it's right there for you.
8) A unit converter. Your data are in meters, and you need an answer in feet? No problem! With a tap, you can enter the result of your conversion into the calculator. Currently converts different units of the following: acceleration, angle, area, density, distance, energy, force, mass, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, and volume. Great for physics problem sets! You can also define your own units.
9) Constants for scientific calculations -- speed of light, strength of gravity at Earth's surface, etc. etc. etc. Tapping on a constant will insert it into your calculation -- i.e, you don't have to key in the value. Again, great for physics problem sets!
10) Statistics mode, including options for scatter plots and for regression lines.
11) Works on both iPhone and iPad.
*** Note about the screenshots -- if you are viewing this in iTunes, you can see 10 different shots across the 2 different devices. They are all different shots. We need that many to show the range of capabilities of the calculator; even still we are leaving some things out. ***
I'd love to learn about your comments or suggestions. You can write me at [email protected] -- but without the xyz. Thanks!

8 of 25No seriously, this was one of the first apps I ever downloaded and the maintainer(s) have been excellent since day one. That was about...ten years ago? Something like that. Not many have that kind of track record and this app does pretty much everything a TI-84 does (except BASIC scripts).
I use this app more than any other app on my iPad. I'm a high school math/physics tutor, and this is my go-to calculator. The interface is intuitive, and there are great extras like the triangle solver, the polynomial solver, and a nice reference section. The way the graphing function works is fabulous for demonstrating concepts to students. The developer, William Jockusch, is extremely responsive. I once emailed him to ask about a feature I thought would be good, and he literally added it overnight and updated the app. Get it - you won't regret it.
Latest update caused the labels on various screens to be invisible in dark mode. I know they’re there because I can do the calculations in the units section. But, I can’t see the units in the slider. I can see them in the conversion section below that. Also in the help section a lot of the labels for help are invisible as well. But, again I can click on them and they help appears. They are there but the text is the same color as the background.
I've used this app for years and always enjoyed all of the unique features. I'm a professional engineer and this is my go to calculator when I don't have my TI-89 on hand ;-)
This is just a great product. Get it for your kids.
Very well done!
This app fits all my needs very well. I would just ask for a newer update for ipads that work with iPadOS multitasking features! It would be handy for homework and problem solving having it able to float next to a worksheet on the ipad.
I bought the original full version, Scientific Calculator which I really like. Now a new version just came out called Scientific Calculator 2. It is exactly like the full version except with some added features. In fact, it looks identical to the Scientific Calculator version. It has the same app image. If you buy the full version, you shouldn't have to pay again for another version of the same calculator with a couple added features. In fact, when you open the scientific calculator full version and look at an advertisement for version 2 it asks you to upgrade. So it really is an upgrade. Why should I have to pay for an upgraded version when I already paid for this app and its upgrades. This is a ripoff to pay for the app twice. If you haven't bought the original version then this is a good deal otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. If someone wants to develop a whole new looking app and offered different features that I'm okay with but to make it look identical with some added features I think that's wrong and I feel like I'm being cheated.
