There are quite a few computer users out there who have sticky notes stuck across their monitor’s border - and why not, since that information is always available at a glance. These notes made their way to computer users in form of note widgets for their desktops as well as apps for their smartphones and tablets. However, why stop at merely taking notes? Enter Tiny Apps – a package that contains five floating apps that act like omnipresent widgets. This reminds me of Small Apps for the newer Sony Xperia devices, but Tiny Apps has quite a few extra tricks up its sleeve. You get quick access to a sound recorder, music player, painting canvas, calculator, and of course, notes from anywhere across the OS, floating atop all other apps. Read More

Some love it, most hate it and many have tried their level best to avoid it at school, but Mathematics is everywhere all around us, and there's no escape from it in any field. Every element of the world is either based on or in some way related to numbers and mathematical calculations. Behind every piece of technology including your computer and smartphone, there are millions of calculations going on every second. While these complex, automatic calculations are handled by computers, there are many that are still needed to be done by humans, in order to create those machines. A calculator is one particular device that has helped almost everyone at some point in their lives, allowing them to perform complex calculations in a few seconds. Windows has its own calculator with basic arithmetic and scientific calculations, but it doesn't quite cut it for more complicated ones. Tibi’s Mathematics Suite is a portable open-source application featuring a Scientific calculator, Graphical calculator, Matrix calculator and Factorizator, each with its own feature set to let you to perform complex calculations with ease.

Android’s stock calculator app is handy enough to let users easily perform standard mathematical and scientific calculations. That being said, we’ve been frequently bringing you several useful and feature-rich alternatives in the form of CALCNEXT, AirCalc, Statistic Calculator and Handymate etc. Where almost all aforementioned options present you with a button-laden, tap-to-input calculator interface, MyScript Calculator takes an entirely different route to offer you a canvas on which you can draw/write mathematical expressions to get all the required answers. Supporting several basic mathematical operations and functions, the app has the capacity to automatically interpret input (user-drawn) data, complete with both the operator and the operands detection, and perform requested operation on any amount of operands that you provide via drawing. Interesting, isn’t it? What’s even more fascinating about MyScript Calculator is that, unless you wipe the canvas clear, the app lets you continue with further operations, thereby amending the results accordingly. It accepts input via finger as well as stylus, and supports palm rejection, with additional support for left-handed users. Read More

An iOS app which converts a value from one unit to another is nothing new, and you can even perform most such calculations using the stock calculator app present in the iPhone. There is one unit conversion app, however, which might force you to change your mind. Meet Convex, an app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which does nothing more than unit conversion, on the surface at least. You will know what we mean as soon as you launch it for the first time. Convex has a strikingly beautiful interface, and that alone is enough to take it out of the “just another unit converter” category, but wait - there’s more to the app than that. Convex deals with a staggeringly large number of units (close to a thousand), and the best thing about it is that you are sure to find your desired units in no time at all.

So far, what we have been able to see with most apps based around Mathematics, engineering or those referring to a solution of some sort of calculation is that they all come in the from of a standalone apps. For instance, you might be able to find plenty of Mathematics-related apps in the Android Market; lots of them might be meant to only help you with designing graphs and scientific models, whereas other available solutions might revolve around assisting you with the routine calculation tasks. In short, there are not too many solutions that comprise a rather expansive set of calculation, analysis and measurement tools to cater to the needs of a large continget of users. Well, seems as if we might have come across a very handy solution in this regard. Developed by BRICK, Handymate is a comprehensive suite of various calculation, conversion, builder and estimation tools for Android that is meant to make the life of students, engineers, architects and mathematicians simpler. Ranging from basic unit conversion features to extensive construction estimation tools, Handymate provides you with plenty of quick calculation options that would otherwise demand a lot of time and effort or multiple apps. The best part about Handymate is its uncluttered, user-friendly interface.

The stock calculator app that comes bundled with Android OS is undoubtedly a handy utility to have, especially if you are often required to perform various calculations on your device. However, said tool might just not suffice if you were to perform rather prolonged calculations by reading and feeding in multiple entries from, say, an image, email, document files (DOC, XLS, PDF etc.) or a webpage that is opened on your device, simply because of the hassle involved in frequently switching back and forth between the calculator app, and the document. Enter AirCalc – an alternative calculator for Android that presents you with a persistent overlay so that you can perform your calculations from anywhere in the OS. The "floating" calculator is transparent, moveable, and resizable, and provides you with the same calculation operations found in the stock Android calculator app. Read More

Probably one of the greatest inventions of mankind is mathematics - algebra to be more precise. Everything we do today revolves around numbers, and numbers have changed the world as we know it. If mathematics and statistics are great inventions, then calculator is even greater, which helps in performing various complex calculations, within a few seconds. Along with the evolution of Windows, the default Windows calculator has also gone from being the tool for just division, multiplication, addition and subtraction of digits to getting support for basic, scientific, programmer and statistical calculations. However, it still lacks options, such as creating charts and printing the calculations, and i suspect that these features would be ever added. While browsing the web, i stumbled upon something interesting that might delight maths and stats enthusiasts and make their job a lot easier. The application is called RedCrab and is a portable calculator with support for scientific mode, programmer, standard, fields and statistical calculations, which can then be printed directly from the application. It supports complex algebraic equations, fractions, square roots, log functions, trigonometric functions etc. Digits and symbols can be entered with the keyboard, the Function Panel or the virtual keyboard provided with the application.
