Equation Pad

Equation solver and numerical calculator

Equation Pad solves the numerical problems that come up in engineering and science: roots of functions, single equations and systems, integrals, derivatives, sums and differential equations, all with units.

A graph of a cubic function with a level line and a value read-out.

Solve equations and systems

root(f(x), x, 1) finds where a function is zero near a guess, or between two limits. solve(x^2 == 2, x, 1) solves one equation, and solve([x + y == 3, x - y == 1], [x, y], [1, 1]) solves a system. Units work throughout.

Calculus and differential equations

  • Definite integrals: integrate(f(x), x, 0, 2).
  • Derivatives, exact or at a point: diff(f(x), x), diff(f(x), x, 2).
  • Sums: summation(k^2, k, 1, 10).
  • Differential equations stepped through time with ode, ready to plot.
  • Symbolic simplify and expand.

See the problem before you solve it

plot([f(x), 2], x, -1, 5) draws curves with a read-out under the mouse, so you can see where the roots are and choose a good guess.

Part of a full calculation

The solver lives inside a calculation sheet: define your inputs with units above it, use the answers below it, and issue the whole thing as a PDF or .docx document.
