Archimedes is a graphing calculator for iPhone, iPad & iPod. It's been designed from the ground up to make learning about and working with math and physics as easy and intuitive as it should be.

Math, the Way You'd Write It on Paper

Instead of representing equations and formulas using traditional flat notation, Archimedes shows them the way you'd write them on paper. Combined with beautiful, functional animations and interaction that's as simple as a tap or a swipe, Archimedes ensures that your attention goes only towards solving problems that matter.

Numeric and Exact Answers
​
Archimedes automatically calculates answers in both numeric and exact form. Switch between the two by horizontally swiping the answer.

Interactive Plots that Update in Real-Time

Archimedes lets you interact with plots directly. With no complicated menus and commands getting in the way, operations such as intersecting, integrating and finding derivatives become a matter of dragging your fingers across the screen. What's more, everything updates in real-time as you do so, letting you get even closer to the action and making the interaction feel even more intuitive.

All Your Formulas in One Place, Always Available

Archimedes features a comprehensive library of formulas covering most high school physics curriculums. With all your formulas in one place, available even when you're offline, you'll always have the information you need to do your best work. Search based on title, category, keywords or even names of variables to find the formula you're looking for. Build your intuition further using the clear descriptions and images accompanying all formulas. And when you're ready, simply hit insert and fill in the variables to see the answer appear.

Changing History

Archimedes saves your calculation history. Simply scroll up to go back in time, and review or edit previous calculations. If you used the ans function to chain calculations together, all dependent calculations will update automatically when you change the original calculation.

Units & Constants

With automatic unit conversions and constants built in, Archimedes lets you stay focused on what matters most — your work. No more having to interrupt your thought process to look up constants and unit conversion factors. And since both the metric system and the imperial system are supported, you can use Archimedes no matter where you are.

Education

Archimedes has been designed with the goal of helping students gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of math and physics. It's perfect for classroom usage when combined with Apple's Classroom app, exams included. Learn more on our education page.
