Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS. I’ve been using the free version for a few weeks once or twice a day, it’s extremely well made and makes learning fun in a way! My main gripe I’d say is it definitely needs more Trigonometry (I understand this is a newer app so eventually I’m sure it’ll be added) and for an easy way to revisit sections for practice.It would be cool to see a mode where you can practice randomly generated formulas under a time limit, let’s say you have 10 seconds to solve a problem and solving it gives you +8 more seconds on top of what you have left over, and you keep solving until you run out of time. Would be great for practice and help…from apps.apple.com

Wyrm – Solve algebra by touch, built on an open-source soundness engineJul 2026 · github.com · ▲81There is a mobile game called DragonBox. It sort of tricks you into learning algebra by starting with very abstract manipulations of a puzzle that must follow rules... gradually the game teaches you more and more rules and also strips out the more abstract elements until on the last levels you are finally solving real equations. I loved it, it taught my kids algebra.... and it was just fun. Over the years I often thought that there should be a calculator for Algebra that works this way... something where you can drag terms around and cancel & distribute with gestures, but most importantly…

Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://www.theengineeringmanager.com which got a decent amount of…
