Why does this exist?

Building off of the work I'd done on Pineapple, I decided to take a different approach. When it comes to higher level mathematics (like Physics and Calculus), there's really two distinct problems. The big picture items (e.g. knowing how to get acceleration, given velocity), and the actual number-crunching (e.g. solving the equations to get there). This app aims to focus on the former, by making the latter less difficult.

How does it work?

This app makes it easy to enter whatever information you have, and then to modify that information to get your answer. For instance, let's say you have a simple Physics problem:

"A rocket with a mass of 4.0 kg generates thrust of 200 N. Neglecting air resistance what acceleration should we expect?"

All you'd have to do is enter the information you were given...

And with a couple clicks, you'd get your answer.

Closing Time

This app was never released, but I learned a lot while working on it. This app was the first project of mine that used Web Workers, LaTeX, and my own implementation for dragging items around the screen.
