Physics Apps for iPhone: Any Advanced Options?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the lack of advanced physics applications for iPhone users, particularly those seeking tools suitable for upper-division or graduate-level studies. Users express frustration with the predominance of low-level apps designed for high school students. While Dropbox is mentioned as a useful tool for storing and accessing academic papers and annotations, the consensus is that the iPhone's processing power limits the availability of sophisticated physics applications. Overall, the conversation highlights a gap in the market for advanced physics tools on mobile platforms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of advanced physics concepts
  • Familiarity with mobile application ecosystems
  • Knowledge of Dropbox for file storage and management
  • Awareness of the limitations of mobile processing power
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced physics applications for iOS, focusing on user reviews and functionality
  • Explore alternatives to Dropbox for academic paper management, such as Google Drive or OneDrive
  • Investigate desktop-level physics software that may have mobile counterparts
  • Learn about the latest developments in mobile processing power and its implications for app development
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, educators seeking advanced teaching tools, and developers interested in creating sophisticated physics applications for mobile platforms.

I've always wanted to put some Physics apps on my iPhone, but the ones I keep coming across are way too low-level; they seem geared to high school kids who are first encountering the material...

Any recommendations for apps that are more advanced?, like upper-division or graduate student level?

DropBox? I store my .pdf archive of papers in DropBox (along with all the .bib files and annotations) and have access to them on whichever computer I use. If you have a particularly dry paper or two, it also doubles as a sleep-aid!

As for more advanced apps, I don't think you'll find a whole lot since the processing power on the iPhone is a whole lot less than what you'd have on a desktop, or even a netbook, and the input, while great for texting and e-mails, also isn't that great for extended input. Just my 2 cents worth.
 

Thread 'Looking for a reliable inkjet All-In-One printer for photos and docs'

I am having a hell of a time finding a good all-in-one inkjet printer. I must have gone through 5 Canon, 2 HP, one Brother, one Epson and two 4 X 6 photo printers in the last 7 yrs. all have all sort of problems. I don't even know where to start anymore. my price range is $180-$400, not exactly the cheapest ones. Mainly it's for my wife which is not exactly good in tech. most of the problem is the printers kept changing the way it operate. Must be from auto update. I cannot turn off the...
