Math

Homework helpers and everyday number tools — averages to triangles — with clear formulas.

Math shows up everywhere: splitting a bill fairly, estimating area, checking a grade-point average, or verifying a percent discount. These calculators focus on the relationships teachers and textbooks use most—sums and ratios, circles and right triangles, roots and weighted averages—so you get a trustworthy answer and see how it was produced.

Statistics basics

Averages & GPA

The mean summarizes a list of numbers; GPA weights courses by credit so harder schedules compare fairly.

Rational numbers

Fractions & percents

Fractions describe parts of a whole; percents are fractions out of 100—ideal for discounts, tips, and growth rates.

Plane geometry

Circles & triangles

π ties radius to circumference and area; right triangles pair Pythagoras with trig ratios for missing sides and angles.

Inverse operations

Roots & powers

Square roots undo squaring; they appear in distance formulas, standard deviation steps, and geometry.
