Summary:
Whether you’re looking for math, chemistry, or physics references, the Science Pro app has you covered. This app provides a large number of reference equations for math and physics, as well as a handy Periodic Table that can be color-coded in a number of different ways to display trends in, say, boiling or melting points, among many other options. The mathematics section of the app covers topics from geometry, to linear algebra, to differential equations, while the physics section includes six topics including thermal energy, kinetic theory and heat transfer. While no background information on any of the equations is provided (just the equations themselves, with variables defined), the app allows users to add their own notes and tags to individual equation cards, which can also be saved, emailed, or printed from the app.
