Mobile Math Apps

If you teach in Math, Accounting, or Engineering fields, you and your students might find the stock calculators that come on today’s smartphones to be too simplistic.  With the addition of a well-chosen app, however, a smartphone can eliminate the need for a separate scientific calculator in many situations. Below are some apps that might fit your needs on each of the most popular current smartphone platforms:
