Mathematics is a complete calculator app which allows you to plot graphs, solve 2 variable equations, do polynomial expansions, solve matrices, perform unit conversions, solve differential and linear calculus and do a lot more. You can download it for free from Google Playstore. You can plot graphs for complex functions and also calculate calculate tangent, asymptote and interception.

Pros

  • A complete package
  • You can delete any function, equation, etc with a swipe-to-delete gesture
  • attractive material design

One Calculator

One calculator is meant for those looking for something simpler. The can still help you through trigonometry, logarithms, plotting basic one variable graphs, solving single variable equations,  and matrices, but steers away from advance mathematical operations.

Mathway is worth trying because of its graphical interface, organized design and beacuse it dedicates separate sections to geometry, chemistry and statistics calculations. The app can perform advanced mathematical calculations, but the way it accepts user inputs differentiates it from other apps. You can upgrade to pro version for step by step solutions.

Pros

  • Good for basic Geometry
  • Has separate section for Chemistry related calculations and includes periodic table too
  • Good for statistic related calculations

Cons

  • for certain operations app requires you to enter numbers from your Android keyboard instead of apps numeric keypad. This creates confusion.

Pros

  • Convenient to use as it can directly scan problems

Cons

  • accuracy isn’t great
  • doesn’t support complex problems

Conclusion

These are some different apps which you can try to solve math problems based on your requirements. There are several other scientific calculators available on playstore and for basic and advanced calculations, you need not look beyond your Android smartphones
