Mathematica Alternatives for iPad

Mathematica is not available for iPad but there are some alternatives with similar functionality. The best iPad alternative is MATLAB. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try GeoGebra Classic. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to Mathematica and seven of them are available for iPad so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting iPad alternatives to Mathematica are Soulver, Calca, MathStudio and HP Prime Graphing Calculator.

filter to find the best alternatives

Mathematica alternatives are mainly Calculators, but if you're looking for Graphing Calculators or IDEs 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.
