Digital Calculator vs MaximaOnAndroid
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Digital Calculator
A neumorphic themed digital calculator which has keyboard support (external bluetooth keyboard) and a few useful shortcuts for quick and easy access. It also has a dedicated dark theme (set based on system theme) for better accessibility. It is also supported by devices with the floating window feature and it also has a landscape mode.
MaximaOnAndroid
Maxima, a full featured computer algebra system, now runs on your Android mobile devices. Maxima, and its predecessor Macsyma is one of the most long-established software in the world, back in 1960s at MIT LCS and Project Mac. You can perform many many math operations such as integration, differentiation, matrix operations, rational numbers, symbolic treatment of constants such as pi, e, euler's gamma, symbolic and numerical treatment of special functions such as sin(x), cos(x), log(x), exp(x), zeta(s), and many more. Maxima on Android is a port of Maxima on the Android operating system. Thanks to Sylvain Ageneau' effort on porting Embeddable Common Lisp to the Android OS, the latest Maxima code runs nicely on ECL on Android with very small changes to the source code. The installation of the software requires total of 90MB on the storage. 30MB needs to be installed on the internal storage. The rest of 60MB can be installed either on the external or the internal storage. The first run of the apk will ask you where you want the 60MB to be installed.
