Powerful Graphic Calculator Apps for Math Teachers and Students
Desmos Graphing Calculator This is one of the most popular graphic calculator out there. Students can use it to ‘plot polar, cartesian, or parametric graphs; input and plot data; find best fit lines and parabolas; Adjust values interactively to build intuition, or animate any parameter to visualize its effect on the graph; type in any equation you want to solve and Desmos will show you the answer. It can handle square roots, logs, absolute value, and more. FREE iPad and iPhone |
Quick Graph is a powerful, high quality, graphic calculator that takes full advantage of the multi-touch display and the powerful graphic capabilities of the iPad and iPhone, both in 2D and 3D. A simple, yet intuitive interface that makes it easy to enter and/or edit equations and visualize them in mathematical notation. It's capable of displaying explicit and implicit (opt) equations as well as inequalities (opt) in both 2D and 3D, in all standard coordinate systems: cartesian, polar, spherical and cylindrical, all with amazing speed and beautiful results, which can be copied, emailed or saved to the photo library.
