Math Ref New Math Ref Layout
Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 5:12PM We wanted to share the new Math Ref equations layout with you guys. The old style didn't allow for zooming of the equations. Currently, when you tap on an equation (for most equations) some notes appear and you have two buttons: favorite and close. We wanted to give you more content on a per equation basis, so we decided on a redesign, which can be seen below.
Explanation of tabs:
Equation Tab: This tab allows you to see the equation close up and supports zooming via multi-touch. To reset the zoom simply double tap on the equation.
Notes Tab: This displays more information on the equation when selected.
Examples Tab: We wanted to provide a way for us to start adding more examples to the app. We're in the process of adding examples to every equation. Now this won't be immediate and a lot of the equations won't have examples, however, with every update more examples will be added until just about every equation has one.
Favorites Tab: This allows you to save the equation to the Favorites section for quick reference of your most used equations.
Grafly: This button allows you to plot some of the equations in Grafly if you have it installed on your device. For instance, in this image the equation you see there could be plotted in Grafly for you to see and move about in 3D. Pretty sweet huh.
Well, that's it for the new layout. We're still working on this massive new update and thank you for your patience and support. If you have a question or a comment feel free to leave it either below or to the left and don't forget to vote for us for the Best App Ever of 2009 for the Best Educational App category at http://bit.ly/7g6fAu.
