App suggestions for practicing mathematics?

AI Thread Summary
There is a demand for quality mobile apps that facilitate the practice and learning of various mathematics topics, particularly for users at beginner to intermediate/advanced levels. The search results on the Play Store primarily yield basic flashcard apps and those aimed at children, which do not meet the needs of users seeking more challenging content. One recommended app is Elevate, which offers a range of math-related challenges that adapt in difficulty based on user progress. However, some users feel that Elevate resembles general brain training apps like Lumosity and does not specifically cater to mathematics learning. The ideal app sought is one that functions similarly to Duolingo but focuses on math.

I was browsing the Play Store early this morning looking for a quality app that would allow me to practice and learn various mathematic topics on my mobile device. Surprisingly, none of the results were very good. There were a few basic "flash card" type applications with basic arithmetic, and some apps for kids.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a quality app to practice various mathematic topics on my mobile device?

What level are you looking for?

I noticed that this thread was moved from the Math forums to Computing..I don't think this was the right move.

Regardless, beginner to intermediate/advanced. Something more difficult than the basic arithmetic found in the apps that were returned in the search results that seemed to be geared for kids.
 
Elevate is the one and only choice for me, check it out, it might be what you're looking for. It provides awesomely designed and prepared math-related (and many other) challenges that start simple and get more complicated depending on how good is your progress. Although, as one of the posters above mentioned, depends on the type of math you seek to practice.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's exactly what I'm looking for. Elevate seems similar to general "Brain Training" apps like Luminosity where it's really just memory games and such.

I'm essentially looking for the Duolingo of math.
 

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
