About MathSys calculator shell-Alpha

Mathsys aims at one goal and aims at doing it exceptionally well. That is, solving, storing and sharing mathematical problems irrespective of their complexity. (Please watch the video for a quick intro)
This is a re-work of our famous MathScript calculator. The current pre-release alpha version is intended to test the framework and receive user feedback (please scroll to FAQ at the end to see guidelines for feedback).

Nexus 7 users: We do not yet know what is causing the poor app response. Kindly bear with us till we get hold of a Nexus 7 device.

If you find any issues, kindly mail us. Please do not give bad rating. The entire suite of (full version) software will be free and it would be counter productive if the bad rating prevents users from testing it and providing feedback.

Initial loading is slow only for first time. Subsequent loading should take less than 5 seconds (2 sec. in HTC OneX/GalaxyNote)

Features:
* Complete scientific suite of calculations similar to mathematica and matlab using SymPy and NumPy libraries
* Graphical representation of equations with our smart typesetting mechanism
* Full graphical shell using Kivy framework
* Publication quality plots through the awesome plotting library "matplotlib"

Note: We haven't yet completed the feature list. More features will be added with each update.

The help system is not implemented fully. So, for now you are on your own to find out certain stuff. But, the system is supposed to be intuitive. Let us know if some things are not evident immediately :)

Thanks for your support.

FAQ:

* I found a problem not listed here
Please mail us ASAP! We are waiting for your feedbacks and suggestions and work on the improvements based on those.

* How can I contribute?
Currently, we are expecting feedbacks from users to let us know about the feel of the system. You can contribute by just using the app and letting us know if it works well on your system.

* The app is crashing when I open it.
Please check if you have around 80 MB free space before installing the app. Some times, the problem could be due to insufficient space in your memory. We will be grateful if you can get a log output and share it with us.

* The app crashed! How to let you know about it?
System logs can be very valuable in providing crash reports. You can access the log and mail it to us using the free third party app: "aLogCat".

* Why is it slow?
The app is targeted at next generation devices. The slight lag in graphics and delay in computations are visible only in previous generation devices and is almost instant with devices such as HTC One X, Galaxy S3, Note etc..
Also, loading a big program would consume some time. So, please save and close the programs when not needed. Please try to avoid creating very large programs.

* How to share files to others?
The files are located at the folder "MathSysData" in your external storage. You can share using any file browser.

* Help button is not working
For getting help, focus on a function (you will see a frame surrounding it when focussed) and click help. For some functions, the help system might not be available. We will be adding supporting documents gradually.

* Can I develop custom functions?
Yes. You can do complete Python programming. However, much more need to be done to make it user friendly.In future, you will be able to develop your own functions, their graphical representations and even your own keypad set.

* Will this be available in other platforms?
The first release is for Android. Once the product matures, we will release versions for iOS, Mac, Linux and Windows.

fyi external keyboard works for changing the title and comment but not for input within a file.

Many many thanks to develop such excelent app. Now the power of python programming with sympy is in my pocket. We want an update version.

Can't do anything. Tried 3 X 4. When I hit X the app exits. Uninstalled. Phooey.

Great support of pythons numeric tools. The interface is quite unpolished and could be better.

I was looking for an app like this for a long time. This app is like having Mathematica with you all the time. Very innovative and easy to use interface. Easy to understand and get used to. I really thank to the team who made this great app please keep up the good work :)

S70%
by S####:

In its current state, this is, in my view, a pre-Alpha app. Even the numeric keypad has the 4,5,6 buttons the wrong way around (see screenshot above). It will probably take years before it is developed into a usable app. Meanwhile, it has been released, presumably so that people with loads of time can play with it (without any instructions to guide them) and tell the developers what is wrong/missing so that they can fix it. For those without loads of time, there are other Android calculators and apps based on Python that are more deserving of their time. However, if you have loads of time.....

This a really easy way to have python + interactive shell + numpy + sympy +matplotlib +... My rating is mainly due to the idea and packaging these great tools together (sort of PyLab for android). I have not had the chance to explore this app enough. It should be noted that I am an ipython notebook new addict. I would really like to see it added in the future. Till then, i guess i'll start learning what this app has to offer. Any chance for scipy, pytables and cython to be packaged with it? Two comments I can already make regarding the ui: (1) At least on the Asus TF201 (running Jelly Bean) I could not get landscape mode. This turns the keyboard/dock quite inconvenient, even though this should be extremely useful for scripting. (2) I did not manage to use tab-completion. Is it not implemented? If not, it should. Keep on the good work! Thanx

Found an issue with this application when I first installed it, but by the very next day the folks at The Think Tanks had updated the app with an acceptable fix. That is great customer support! Hard to figure out the syntax of some of the function, so I am looking forward to seeing a more complete document of the functions and syntax. This app is off to a very promising start.

C70%

Don't usually leave feedbacks for any apps other than math and physics.Really fun to play with. Very useful too. Timely upgrades.
