Pi Cubed isn't really a calculator; it's much better! The chalkboard-style interface is conducive to building equations, and it easily beats out other scientific calculators. Just don't expect it to replace your graphing calculator.
App 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.
