#EIGENMATH USER GUIDE PC#

LME for pocket PC – (free) This technology preview is a Matlab-like programming language aimed at numerical computing.I have not used it myself and so have no idea if it works on WM 6 devices. Formula 1 – (commercial) This commerical CAS requires the Jeode JVM and only works on specific machines.Eigenmath PPC – (free) This is a port of the open-source computer algebra system, eigenmath, to the pocket PC.Unfortunately the world is far from ideal but there are still quite a few very nice packages out there that can do symbolic and matrix based calculations. In an ideal world it would be possible to have something like Mathematica or Matlab on a pocket PC. Thanks to Petr for alerting me to this one. RealCalculator – (commercial) A very nice looking shareware calculator that can handle complex numbers, matrices and 2 and 3D plotting among other things.

I have not yet checked that this works on Windows Mobile 6 devices but it worked just fine on Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Gnuplot 3.7 – (free) An older port of gnuplot to the pocket PC – this time by Rainer Keuchel.Works on Windows Mobile 6 – I have also written a review of this application. Gnuplot 4.2 – (free) The popular open-source plotting package, gnuplot, ported to the pocket PC by André Stemper.

It also works on the Pocket PC via the Palm emulation software – Style Tap.

Lots of functions, easy to use and free – you don’t get much better than that.

Easy Calc – (free) This was my calculator of choice back when I was using a palm PDA rather than a pocket PC.

AllWave MathCal Pocket PC Edition (commercial).

The packages in this section allow you to generate plots and create simple programs.

#EIGENMATH USER GUIDE DOWNLOAD#

There is a free version available for download as well as a paid-for upgrade.

Some of its features include functions from science/engineering, complex numbers, matrices, vectors, statistics and finance. It works just like most standard scientific calculators by default (eg type in 1.2 and then press Sin to get the sine of 1.2) but will also work in Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) if that’s what you prefer.

Calc98 (free/commercial) An easy to use but powerful scientific calculator that has all of the functions you would expect and several that you would not.

Personally, I use Calc98 and have never looked back. There are literally hundreds available for the pocket PC and sorting the wheat from the chaff can be a painful (and potentially expensive) experience. CalculatorsĪmazingly powerful Computer algebra systems and beautiful plotting packages are all well and good but sometimes what you need is a good, old fashioned calculator.

If this is missing then it simply means I have not yet got round to testing it yet. The entries that I have personally tested will have something like “works on WM6” or “Does not work on WM6” as part of the description. My intention is to keep this page up to date so if you know of any other good pieces of mathematical pocket pc software then please let me know and I will include them here. Other new packages include YacasCE, pocket LME, Eigenmath PPC and Planmaker 2006. Then there is André Stemper’s port of version 4.2 of Gnuplot which is a great improvement on the old 3.7 version offered by the prolific Rainer Keuchel. One of the most obvious ones is the superb package – SpaceTime – which really demonstrates what is possible on this platform. It’s not all bad though – there have been some superb additions to the mathematical software library on the pocket PC. If anyone discovers a (legal) way of obtaining this software then please let me know. There are also some changes for the worst – for example it seems that it is no longer possible to get the programmable calculator, rdcalc, as the developers website has disappeared. Rainer’s port of Pari-GP is also the only version that runs on windows mobile at the present time which is a shame because the platform is much more capable than it was then. Surprisingly, little has changed in some areas and many of the entries in Russel’s 3 year old article are still bang up to date! For example, the only way to get Maxima on a pocket PC is still by using Rainer Keuchel’s port of Maxima 5.5 from 2001. Around 3 years ago Russell Herman asked the question “Can Mathematics be done on pocket PCs?” and he came up with some very interesting results that included graphing packages, computer algebra systems and even an implementation of Latex! Well 3 years is a long time in the world of software so I thought I would ask the question again and post the results on here.
