Description

Pi Cubed is a visual math application designed from the ground up for a touch-based interface. Unlike traditional calculators, Pi Cubed lets you construct, typeset, and instantly evaluate mathematical expressions using an interactive menu system. The use of the entire screen, combined with the capability to lay out equations as they would be written on a piece of paper, makes even complex calcul... Read More

Apple Expands Browser-Based 'iTunes Preview' Functionality to Include App Store

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:33:56 UTC +00:00

MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors - Front Page

TechCrunch reports that Apple has expanded its browser-based 'iTunes Preview' functionality to include pages for App Store applications. To see this for yourself, open any direct link to an iPhone app (example) in your favorite Web browser. You'll notice that instead of only throwing up a dialog box prompting you to confirm that you wish to launch iTunes on your desktop, you'll see a nice page with the app logo, price, description, screenshots, rating, reviews and more in a new window or tab. Simultaneously, iTunes will be opened and you'll be directed to the app's detail page in the App Store. iTunes Preview was launched last November, offering users the ability to view iTunes Store music content in their browsers without the need for iTunes to be separately installed. The functionality was later updated to allow users to listen to 30-second song samples, although users remain unable to actually purchase content Read More

Apple Now Lets You Preview iPhone Apps In Your Browser

At the time, you weren’t able to actually listen to a sample of music tracks from your browser, but that changed earlier this year when Web-based audio previews were quietly added (paving the way for the imminent roll-out of iTunes.com). This morning, Apple activated the iTunes Preview feature Read More

Innovative and useful

Swift826

Version: 1.01

As a physics major, I have to say that I've been looking for an app like this. Don't expect it to replace your calculator - use it to play around with equations like you would on paper, and get real-time results when you put in numbers. A few features are really needed before it's perfect, but I think the devs are on that already. Needs radians desperately! Other good features would be a memory for results, ability to add your own constants, and symbolic manipulation of equations (right now if you make an eqn, you can only put numbers in). Also the hyperbolic trig functions would be nice. Keep up the good work!

Great potential -- quality keeps improving.

Version: 1.1

This app provides a very innovative touch screen interface for entering formulas, and it contains a fairly extensive library of formulas that arise in science and engineering. It has great potential. The current version enables the user to enter formulas with variables, which contain descriptive annotations. These formulas can be saved into a custom library. The central feature of the new version (1.1) was the addition of variables. In addition to making the formulas easier to read and understand, this feature can be very helpful when the same variable is repeated in the formula, since selecting any instance of the variable and entering a numeric value replaces all instances with that value.

Needs a "new" button

Holyangel

Version: 1.11

The interface is a bit tough to get used to and less intuitive than what one might expect from an app like this. Also, unless I'm missing something, which is possible since the app is a little counter-intuitive, there is no way to start a new equation other than to "back out" of what you've just done. Moving from a pre-programmed equation to one of your own making can be a drag. It would be good to have a "new equation" button on the main screen so you could start from scratch easily.

Sweeeet

Version: 1.11

This app rocks! I don't find it confusing, rather, I'd say it's very elaborate. There is a tremendous amount of detail built in, and there's no way to really simplify it too much without sacrificing function. I actually found it quite intuitive to use. I just really really wish there were some biochemistry equations in the library!! Maybe some enzyme kinetics, that sort of thing. It will take me a long while to program in all my biochem stuff, which is a bummer. But hey, this app is totally worth the money! Really really thinking outside the box. Absolutely brilliant.

Great for Complex Equations

DanDrusch

Version: 1.11

As an Electrical Engineering student, this app has been a god-send. Trying to input these long, complex equations into a standard calculator just begs for mistakes. On the other hand, Pi Cubed allows you to see the equation typeset exactly how you would expect and makes it much easier to input. Then, once you've made the equation, you can send it to yourself for inclusion in the lab report.

Great potential, needs to enable constants and dual- symbolic and numeric -representations.

Version: 1.11

As one who teaches physics I like the pi cubed concept very much. Its utility would be greatly enhanced by two key advances. First, one should be able to construct a symbolic formula, and then substitute in numerical values for the symbols without losing the symbolic representation. Being able to flip back and forth between the two would be great. Second, one *must* be able to store constants such as hbar, Boltzman's constant, and so on in the library, then use them symbolically in a formula wherein their numerical value would be used for a calculation.

Awesome user interface

kek978

Version: 1.11

This is one of the most innovative apps I've ever seen. Very Impressive. As I think some else said, it would be very nice to enter values for the variables in a table or something and still be able to see the symbolic equation. Alternatively, you might just have a display mode where it is either the way it is now, or it would display the symbolic equation and a table of the variables and their values. Then the input processing wouldn't change. Still, a very impressive app!
