Description
Pi Cubed is a visual math application designed from the ground up for a touch-based interface. Unlike traditional calculators, Pi Cubed lets you construct, typeset, and instantly evaluate mathematical expressions using an interactive menu system. The use of the entire screen, combined with the capability to lay out equations as they would be written on a piece of paper, makes even complex calculations easy to follow. Common touch gestures, like pinch-zooming and touch-based panning, enhance the entry and editing process.
A diverse range of mathematical operations are supported, including logarithms, trigonometric functions, arbitrary roots, exponents, and factorials.
Calculations can be stored within the internal database for later reference or editing. Also present within this database are over 150 built-in equations, representing fields that range from finances to fluid mechanics. You can use these equations (with fully annotated variables) for a quick reminder, or you can enter numerical values and directly evaluate the equations.
Equations can be sent via email in LaTeX format for inclusion in papers or other publications.
Detailed information on all features is present within the in-application manual. Video walkthroughs and the full content of this manual can be found at our product web page.
What's New in Version 2.01
Fixed a crashing bug on startup caused by migration from the older version seen by some users.
Customer Reviews
Mmmm
I just bought this app. I gave a 3 stars. I may raise this if my questions are answered.
There does not seem to be a way to change the number of decimal places or a way to change any other settings. I do not need that many decimal places. I only need two most of the time. Settings to allow the option of placing the equal sign in front of the expression would be convenient e.g. Y=x+2, instead of x+2=y.
Is there a way to change formatting so that constants can be made a different color or even locked once you are finished making the equation.
Is there a way to process one equation and have it remain on the display so that you can use it's output for the next equation? Right it seem you can only do one it does everything it can to occupy the center of the screen, instead of being positioned nicely and aligned on the top or perhaps top-left, to allow room for subsequent equation, if that ability is enabled.
An option to change this bluish background soothing else would be nice.
Units would be nice
NEEDS SCIENTIFIC NOTATION!!!!
The title says it all.
Love the interface, but...
This is a beautiful app, and I love it, but it's inability to deal with numbers smaller than 10^-6 renders it useless for any calculation of photon energy. Planck's constant, 6.626e-34, for instance, is rendered as zero. Since I teach chemistry, including a whole segment on atomic electronic structure, this app almost perfect, but not quite. PLEASE fix.
