Mathematica Alternatives for Android

Mathematica is not available for Android but there are some alternatives with similar functionality. The best Android alternative is GNU Octave, which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to Mathematica and seven of them are available for Android so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Android alternatives to Mathematica are MATLAB, Cymath, HP Prime Graphing Calculator and JMMG Tools.

filter to find the best alternatives

Mathematica alternatives are mainly Calculators, but if you're looking for Programming Languages or Graphing Calculators you can filter on that. Other popular filters include Free, Open Source, Android, iPad, Linux and Linux + Open Source. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to Mathematica.
