Pythagorean What

I’m not a very good Asian guy. I’m uncoordinated, I’m not really into sushi, and I’m bad at math. Thankfully for that last one I have Algebra Solver. This iPhone/iPod Touch app, as the name suggests, helps you solve a myriad of algebraic formulas. Just input the numbers and hit solve. Helping your little cousin with his math homework has never been so easy. Do you have a triangle with an unknown side, or need to know that area? Let me guess, you only have base and height, no problem. Just put those and let the app do its thing. You can even Email the answer to you, or to that friend who needs help, they’ll totally think you’re a genius. 

The Algebra Solver comes with 21 formulas ranging from simple ones like the Pythagorean Theorem to more complex ones like how to determine the constant acceleration of an object. The geometry formulas are especially helpful, because I can never remember how to find the volume of anything. Besides a built-in calculator, it also comes with other math tools like the ability to find the prime factor of any number, or calculate interest. You also get a unit converter with basic things like temperature, angle, time, speed, useful for anything math related you might encounter. If all else fails, you can use the built-in link to the Wolfram Alpha mathematical structured search engine, type in your math problem, and hope for the best. I wish I had this when I was in high school.
