Subject: MathPad 2.6.4 graphing scientific calculator
MathPad is a general purpose graphing scientific calculator. It uses
a text window rather than simulating buttons on a hand held
calculator. This live scratchpad interface allows you to see and edit
your entire calculation. Formulas can be entered directly and
different values can be plugged in for easy "what if" calculating.
In addition to being a handy little calculator, MathPad can also take
on larger problems. Simple plotting allows quick visualization of
results. General purpose arrays allow calculations involving vectors,
complex numbers, matrix algebra etc. 2D arrays can be displayed as
grayscale or color images. Several examples are included showing such
things as equation solving, curve fitting, vector calculations and
numerical solutions of differential equations.
MathPad does not have all the features of high-end commercial
programs such as Mathematica but it can handle fairly sophisticated
numerical problems with a MUCH smaller memory requirement).
MathPad 2.6.4 is an upgrade intended to replace the previously posted
version 2.6.3.
New Capabilities:
* Improved source file import
* Improved data file import/export
* Scrollwheel support
* Higher Xsteps limit
* Access to Xlo Xhi Ylo Yhi plot values
* More label statements allowed
* Option for plot axis box
* New scripting event to hide windows
* QTmovie XFun now creates a data fork movie for easier export
Bug Fixes:
* minimize to dock now expands back
* read() of FLT4 data now works properly
* fixed compatability problems with some print drivers
MathPad 2.6.4 runs on OS-X or OS 8.6 or better with Carbonlib
This software is free for non-commercial distribution.
