Unfortunately, Grafly was the only one that I added support for, because it had a means of taking in and plotting equations from other applications. I've tried working with other developers, but none that I've found have added similar support.

If I can find such an application, I'll add in an export capability for it.

I searched the site and found

I searched the site and found you support exporting an equation into a graphing application (specifically Grafly - which is no longer available in the app store). What graphing applications will accept you exports?

Thanks in advance.

Great to hear that it works

Great to hear that it works well for you. Sorry for the delayed pace of updates lately, because I had to devote some time to finishing the new version of Molecules, among other things.

I do have plans for a Mac version, although I'm still nailing down the exact design and feature set that would be appropriate for that platform. I'm sure that I'll put out a call for beta testers as I get further along on that.

Hey! Like the PI^3 lite app.

Hey! Like the PI^3 lite app. I will download the Full version when I get home.

I think an OS X version would be widely accpeted. Some thing that would compete with MathCad for the PC.

If you decide to go down that road I would like to be a beta tester. I use Mathcad everyday and wish I could be using it on a Mac.

Keep up the good work,

Brian.

I love the user interface,

I love the user interface, but I'm having trouble expressing small powers of ten. In chemistry, for instance, one of the constants we use is Planck's constant: 6.626 x 10^-34. When I try to enter this into pi cubed - it just registers as zero. do I need to type out the 33 leading zeroes by hand...?
Thanks!

If you have some standard

If you have some standard sets of equations that would be generally applicable to many users, point me to them and I can build them into the next version of the application.

Otherwise, no, I don't have the greatest support for sharing equations right now. That, along with better equation library backups, is something I'm working on right now and hope to have in the application soon.

Hi Brad,

I am an arborist and we have a number of formula that we use. Does every arborist need to add in all of these manually or is there some way I can share the equations with my colleagues

As an update, this is now a feature of version 1.1.

This application is fully

This application is fully functional for numerical calculations, which you will be doing quite frequently in any statistics course. Operations like the error function and factorials, which play a part in many statistical calculations, are built into the application. Additionally, there are six statistical equations which ship in the onboard equation library. Soon, you will even be able to enter and store your own equations for reference on tests and in your daily work.

That said, the TI-85 has several functions within it that are not currently in Pi Cubed. These include numerical solving of polynomials, unit conversions, and plotting of functions. However, some of these capabilities will be coming soon in updates that I have planned. These functions tend to be more technical in nature and, outside of plotting, I don't know that you would use them all that frequently in a statistics course.

I can't speak for you, but I designed this application to replace my TI-85 with my iPhone, which I always carry with me. In combination with an external graphing application like Grafly, that's just what it's done. If you already have an iPhone or iPod touch, it's also a good deal cheaper at $10 than a TI-85 (which tend to run around $80-$120). I'm also open to suggestions for features to implement in the future to improve the application via email or the forums.

I am an RN and I have to take

I am an RN and I have to take Statistics for my masters. Someone told me I might need to buy a TI-85. Would this app. work well for me instead?

Keeping in mind of course that this is elementary statistics, and I have no idea what I'm doing past advanced Algebra.

Thanks!
