PocketCAS: Mathematics Toolkit Reviews

Please include imaginary number support!

Pseudosig

PocketCAS’s computer algebraic system needs to understand imaginary numbers for equations like x^2=-1. At $18, I was surprised to see this not part of its functionality.

Not intuitive at first

I could not figure out how the interface worked at first - the intro needs to be more specific!

I prefer PocketCAS over Mathematica

Lattiez

Why? Because it’s available on my iPhone and my iPad (and my Mac). Everything is seamlessly auto-synced between my devices via iCloud. Mathematica may be more “powerful”, but that power does me no good if I’m away from my computer. PocketCAS is always with me. When/if Mathematica makes an iOS version I may reconsider, but I don’t expect it any time soon (if ever). And for almost everything I do PocketCAS is powerful *enough*. PocketCAS could benefit from more through documentation, especially for the scripting language, but I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s that good.

Highly Useful

Industrial Emgineer

With this on your iPhone/iPad you indeed have a 1st class CAS in your pocket. As such this app is stand-alone, works anywhere you take your device. No need for Wi-fi like another app that shall not be named.

The best so far

Crystal Visions

I've been trying a few of these calculating plotting apps and this is the best so far.

Please add answers setup by setup , thank you

No

No documentation. Very hard to figure out. Update: Vendor provided links to documentation.

Wonderful for circuit analysis

By c# software developer

I use this app for solving systems of equations when I design circuits. I also use it to calculate the behavior of non linear systems

Great display, intuitive interface

Pidgeon Wings

Not a calculator, but a good CAS. Though clumsy as a scratch pad, the interface is intuitive and good for composing and displaying longer or multiple computations. (I have not used this to map any functions.)

Best calc for math programming

S9mcderm

I love PocketCAS, I use it at work to quickly solve various math programming problems. It stores variables and outputs files so I can save them for later. Simple to use, yet powerful enough to handle my most complex calculus problems. Buy the pro version, it’s worth the $10.
