I always imagined that if you were aiming for the mathematician market (huge market!!1 /s) you could have an app like that except on a tablet you'd use with a pen. Then you'd just write down calculations and OCR would figure out what you are trying to calculate and do the number crunching (where applicable), and intelligently recognise variables and a lot of different mathematical functions (I just don't like the whole process of going back and forth between my TI and my legal pad). That'd be a mathematician's (or just mine) wet dream.

- jodrellblank 13y agoThere is a Windows / Office component called "Math Input Panel" for writing equations with a pen and OCR'ing them, and Surface Pro is a tablet you can use with a pen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZKjc4Rzm2Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZKjc4Rzm2Y But it doesn't do any of the number crunching, mathematical work.
- dhaivatpandya 13y agoFor research mathematicians, working on a tablet would probably just feel cumbersome; why not use a computer?
