If you are a student with an iPad or are about to send one
back to school these apps will go a long way to help keep on top of things once
the school year starts. There are apps that help keep track of a busy class
schedule and help prevent assignments from falling through the cracks.
There is an app that can replace those expensive graphing
calculators, and another that makes learning elements a thing of joy. One of
the apps helps get rid of big, heavy textbooks and put them right inside the
iPad.
Some of the apps are free and most just a few bucks so no
breaking the bank.
Quick Graph+: Your Scientific Graphing Calculator
This app puts a full graphing calculator inside the iPad. It
has an equation editor that makes it as easy as can be to get the information
in the calculator and then solve them with full 2D and 3D graphing.
Commonly used equations can be stored for retrieval and
graphics can be saved to the photo library on the iPad.
From the developer:
Features:
- Unlimited graphs.
- VGA Output.
- 2D - 3D equation plotting.
- Library for commonly used equations.
- Wireframe and solid visualization.
- Support for cartesian, polar, cylindrical and spherical
coordinate systems.
- Pinch to zoom.
- Drag to rotate - move.
- Swipe to delete equations from the equation list.
- Shake to reset view to original state, or to clear entry
fields.
- Double tap to change visualization modes.
- Enhanced 2D mode for great hi-res graphics.
- Adaptive 2D algorithms.
- Enhanced 3D mode with better graphics.
- In-app email so you can share graphics and equations.
- Save to photo library.
- Copy to clipboard.
- Enhanced equation visualization.
- Hyperbolic and Inverse functions.
- Special functions such as Min, Max, if.
- Interactive expression evaluation.
- Implicit graphs and inequalities.
- 2D tracing.
- 2D independent axis scaling.
- Labels and notes for library entries
- Roots and Intersections
- Value Table
- Turn graphs on/off.
The Elements: A Visual Exploration
Every student has to study the periodic table at some point,
and The Elements is a fantastic way to do so. The table is presented in an
animated fashion that presents lots of information about each element when
tapped.
This app is one of the best on the iPad and shouldn't be
missed.
From the publisher:
Go to each element's second page and you find a fascinating
story about the element, surrounded by carefully photographed objects
representing it. Every one of these objects, well over 500 in total, is a freely
rotatable, live object that you can examine from all sides and pinch zoom to
see in unprecedented detail.
Touch the element name at the top of the page and you can
see that element’s name in over a dozen different languages. Choose one and
you’ll find that the entire book, stories, captions and all, switches to that
language: The Elements includes both the full English original text and over a
dozen full translations.
Pinch-zoom or tap any object to bring it up full screen,
where you can split into a pair of stereo 3D images. Using inexpensive 3D
glasses you can see all 500 objects pop off the screen in 3D, and you can spin
the objects, in 3D, with the touch of a finger. You can’t get much more
virtually real than that.
Price: $13.99
