Inspiration
Everyday calculators that I use to learn and for help the maths homework. I wanted to learn formulas for advance algebric functions and wanted to learn how to write a program to solve some the algebra problems.
What it does
Solves various problems and shows steps instead of just showing the answer.
How we built it
I used Java as a programming language and created a library of functions that can be expanded in future.
Challenges we ran into
Formatting, having functions that effectively call each other. I did not know how to generalize some of the algebra functions - like solving quadratic equation but I learned as I built this program.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating something that is both functional, but useful, applicable, helpful, and something that can be easily pushed to the next level.
What we learned
We learnt how to effectively use System.out.printf function to create formatted output.
Learnt how to use java.util.Scanner to read various inputs - like string, numbers etc from the console.
What's next for Math Calculator
- Implementing new functions for higher levels of mathematics and dealing with more abstract and complex ideas.
- My goal is to make this calculator available to everyone so people can learn maths using an interactive console and in future build a webapp that can be used by students around the world. Specially those who do not have access to home tutors.
