myAlgebra |
myAlgebra is a set of calculators providing solutions to several popular problems including Straight Line Algebra, Quadratic Functions, and Triangle Geometry using trigonometic equations. It is designed to allow for easy and fast input using an on-screen numeric keyboard. |
The on-screen keyboard means no more repeated opening and closing of the iPhone keyboard to enter data. In most cases, the answers are provided within the same one-page view as the keypad and the inputs. The application is incredibly easy to use and provides quick answers for the high school or college math student to check his or her work. It is so quick and easy that it encourages one to experiment with different input values to better understand the principles of solving the particular problem at hand. |
The first time you invoke each calculator, you will notice the key pad and graphic swapping sides with the input fields. Above, the key pad is moving to the right over the input/output fields which are moving to the left. This is to remind you that you may flip the key pad to the side which is most convenient for you. We have provided a simple "Flip" button on every calculator to allow a user to instantly align the keypad on either the left side or right side. The input fields simply move to the side opposite the keypad. We want to satisfy the needs of everyone-- whether you're right handed or left handed, whether you use your thumb or a finger to tap on the screen. |
While most solutions (the outputs) can be displayed on the main page simply by filling in the empty input/output fields, the results for 2 types of problems generate more output than can be displayed alongside the key pad. Both show their results on a page beneath the main page which is smoothly revealed by curling up the main page when the user taps "Calculate". The first problem, Quadratics, requires some intermediate values to be calculated, so these are displayed on the results page along with the resultant Vertex and X intercepts. The second problem, the infamous scalene triangle problem, "Side Side Angle", can have 2 solutions for certain inputs as shown in the example above. |
