Zhihu first answer, multiple images warning!!!
Added 3 math tools (GeoGebra, Golly, Vizable) on 2016.6.1
I’ve been lurking on Zhihu for so long, it really feels sorry for everyone not to share some personal goods… The previous few answers mainly discuss how to (⊙o⊙) literature, but… what about academic productivity?! Reading can be done with Kindle, and for literature, there are also Sony’s DPT-S1 at the same price. It’s too much to just use the iPad to read literature. The iOS platform has developed for so many years, and there are still many excellent apps. However, since many of them are paid applications, not many people use them. I guarantee that these recommended software are all value for money, they are high-quality products born on the iOS platform in recent years. You should buy them, don’t be stingy with small money.
But also based on your specialty, rational consumption. Please shout the slogan with me: For knowledge! Support genuine! For knowledge! Support genuine! For knowledge! Support genuine!
━━━━━━━━ After shouting, I’m thirsty… Let’s drink some water and continue ━━━━━━━━
Open courses/MOOCs: iTunes U, NetEase Open Course, MOOC Network
It seems that there is no need to introduce any of these, I just want to say that the courses offered by MIT in the United States and Xi’an Jiaotong University in China are awesome!!!
Language: 【Fill in here】 Dictionary, Google Translate, Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, busuu
Everyone is familiar with the dictionary brands, the latter three are language learning software, Rosetta Stone is an old-timer, but it still sends discount information every day… The small language series from Eudic is also quite good. If you are learning German like me, you can also install Learn German Verb Conjugations, LearnBots, Golden German, German Vocabulary, Daily German Listening, and several German games from the Goethe-Institut…
Physics: Autodesk’s ForceEffect three-piece set, iCircuit
ForceEffect is used to build structural models and analyze forces. The three versions correspond to statics, dynamics, and fluid mechanics.
Well, carrying a wind tunnel with you feels so great!
iCircuit is a circuit simulation software that is very well optimized for the tablet’s touch. It can handle circuits, digital circuits, analog circuits, and power electronics, and can replace other simulation software during theoretical learning.
I remember when I first saw it, I regretted not discovering it earlier. Later in the digital circuit class, I kept playing with it and didn’t listen to the teacher, trying almost all the circuits in the book. But if you are doing research… you should still get a PC… I really can’t praise its high-frequency simulation performance.
Chemistry: Beaker, Chemist, Magical Chemical Elements: Flashcards
Both Beaker and Chemist are produced by THIX, simulating chemical experiments, and their functions are similar. The difference is that the former focuses on simulating reaction phenomena, and your entire screen is a reaction container, while the latter simulates an experimental table.
These two software currently include the main inorganic reactions, and the organic part will be added gradually later.
Flashcards, as the name suggests, help you familiarize yourself with chemical elements through flashcards~
There are still many excellent chemical applications on the iOS platform, but chemistry and biology are too far from my specialty, and I haven’t experienced many. I will later tell everyone how to discover such applications.
Mathematics: GeoGebra, Golly, Vizable, Matlab, MathStudio, TI-Nspire, WolframAlpha, Wolfram Cloud, MathPad
GeoGebra, I believe that good things do not need marketing, but this app surprisingly has not caught the attention of the editor on the iOS platform. A completely free multi-platform geometry software, not inferior to Geometer’s Sketchpad. Of course, it can also solve statistical and calculus problems. I found it because of its fame on other platforms, and it can handle plane geometry, solid geometry, analytical geometry, and projective geometry. By the way, I recommend Richard Courant’s “What Is Mathematics,” which is an excellent extracurricular book for students from high school to graduate school.
Golly is also a multi-platform software, cellular automata. Wolfram fans should be very familiar with cellular automata and Game of Life.
Vizable is a data visualization application with a pretty simple operation, supporting multiple formats, but I haven’t used it much (who would think to use this on an iPad?).
Everyone is familiar with Matlab, but the iOS version does not have local computing capabilities, either log in to the MathWorks account to use the official cloud computing (of course, you have to buy the genuine Matlab first, which already supports MATLAB Drive shared files), or connect to a computer on the same network (there are tutorials in the app on how to connect). Then you can use it just like on a computer.
Then you can tutor girls in bed✧*｡ (ˊᗜˋ*) ✧*｡
The next two applications are extremely powerful programmable calculators.
MathStudio is free on the Android platform, very compact, and has many functions. It has been upgraded and revamped on the iOS platform. TI-Nspire was originally developed by Texas Instruments and has the same functions as their physical calculator. These two are not cheap, but the physical ones are more expensive… Now with the same functions, a larger screen, a faster processor, and a lower price, why not buy it?
WolframAlpha… uh… a god-like knowledge computing engine. Those who understand it have a very high opinion of it. I’m too lazy to explain, just show some pictures directly.
(What the hell is that last picture…)
Siri and Bing have both purchased the usage rights of Wolfram (using their API). Its founder is the mathematician Stephen Wolfram, who invented Mathematica (those who are richer than him are not as good at math as he is; those who are better than him at math are not as rich as he is; what is it like to focus on cellular automata for twenty years?).
Wolfram Cloud is the iOS version of Mathematica (found that the image was broken during the update? I’m too lazy to fix it -0-).
The last one is MathPad from MyScript. A handwritten math input panel, I certainly suggest you buy a pen first… Their more well-known product is a handwriting calculator (seems to only support some basic operators, what’s the use?). MathPad itself has no computing function, but it can recognize various types of mathematical expressions (it’s just more than that handwriting calculator). If you are willing to spend a little more money for in-app purchases, you will unlock LaTeX output, MathML output, and most importantly, you can output to WolframAlpha!!! So these two products are perfectly combined (was it pre-arranged?). One is responsible for input, and the other is responsible for computation. For example
(This is not that picture…)
For example, I want to solve this differential equation
In my opinion, the most convenient way is to first input it with MathPad by hand
Then export it to WolframAlpha, and you will get a bunch of stuff
WolframAlpha will also teach you how to solve this equation step by step (this is already a big selling point in other software).
Astronomy: NASA series, Night Sky, Star Walk, Sky Guide (Good naming method…)
NASA series applications are always well made (making the masses satisfied makes it easier to get funding…). The last three are applications that simulate the real-time starry sky. Especially the last two, the graphics are stunning. Many people have used them, and I won’t show pictures, there are actually several other similar software. However, the one I personally use the most is Night Sky. The graphics are not as gorgeous as the previous two, but this one has the advantage of being able to check weather information and evaluate stargazing conditions.
This point is super practical, isn’t it!!! Mom no longer has to worry about clouds affecting my stargazing.
Image: Pixelmator, Snapseed, Lightroom, The Great Photo App, SketchBook
Drawing and photography can also be considered academic. The first three can be used together, and you basically don’t need a PC for retouching, essential for photographers. Pixelmator was shown at Apple’s launch event, and the Mac version basically replaces PS. Snapseed was bought by Google from Nik Software that year. It has a high reputation on all platforms! Especially when discovering that its adjustable range for JPG is comparable to raw… The algorithm is a bit powerful…
Lightroom needs no introduction. By the way, the tablet mode of the PC version of LR is the same as the iOS version, so it’s also very convenient for photographers to retouch on Surface.
For someone like me who uses a mirrorless camera with WiFi, these software are extremely convenient. After taking a photo, you can retouch it directly, and after retouching, you can upload it. Pixelmator can also easily remove unwanted objects from photos using the repair tool.
Just paint over it, and there’s no sense of dissonance.
The next The Great Photo App is an interactive photography learning application. For beginners, you can study different exposure parameters and different composition methods in the same scene. For professional photographers, the software includes basic knowledge of various lighting and multiple lighting methods in the studio.
Finally, SketchBook is recognized as one of the best drawing applications, essential for designers.
Music: GarageBand, Tempo, several from Touchpress…
GarageBand, produced by Apple, has too many powerful functions; as an outsider, I’m not suitable to introduce it… I can only say that there are too many instruments inside, and it can handle everything from composition to mixing.
I’ve only tried a few of its functions. Is there a professional here to talk about it?
Tempo is a metronome application.
It can be used on Apple Watch, allowing you to feel the beat without affecting the music.
Finally, let’s talk about Touchpress… They have too many good products and have also released a lot of chemistry-related ones, and their prices are not low. They very creatively showcase the visual effects of symphonic music (it’s too high-end).
With the same music, you can compare the interpretations of different conductors, with built-in Chinese appreciation.
Programming Software: Codea
I was shocked when I first saw this product. I never thought I could write code so beautifully on the iPad? I can directly publish it to Xcode? And it’s not even produced by Apple? If you have a keyboard, you can happily develop APPs:
It runs like this:
The app comes with tutorials and materials, based on Lua, and an ordinary person can master it in a day. Using Codea on the iPad feels like using Processing on a PC.
Electrical Engineering: Autocad Electrical, Electronic toolbox
The former is the electrical version of Autocad. Autocad’s entire line of products has been free for education for a long time~ In the future, if you need anything, don’t ask for a crack, just go to the official website to download, authorized for three years (the new version has long been released within three years…). The electrical version has many more features, self-contained components, automatic wire crossover…
Just showing off my previous course design…
Electronic toolbox is simply a universal treasure chest.
Whether it’s high voltage or low voltage, from basic components, basic circuits, commonly used formulas, to microcontrollers, Arduino, Raspberry Pi… whatever you need (actually there are also things that are not available). When doing projects, you can organize all the materials you need in it.
Mind Mapping: iMindMap
The founder of mind mapping, Tony Buzan, participated in the design, and there is only this one.
Authentic public version mind mapping!
Common office software: iWork, MS Office, WPS, Prezi
Everyone is familiar with these few, the first three can replace each other. The iOS version of Prezi also has an excellent operating experience, but unfortunately its support for Chinese is not good enough.
Showing a defense presentation full of boxes…
Note-taking software: Wunderlist, OneNote, EverNote, Weizhi
These should be familiar to everyone, the one I use the most is OneNote because it’s the most convenient with my Surface.
Cloud storage: OneDrive, Dropbox
For those that cannot be used in China, please find your own ladder. Recently, I relied on Dropbox for group presentations, which is really useful. By the way… if you use Ubuntu, installing Jinshan Kuaipan is also good.
Wikipedia: WikiLinks
The best wiki reader I’ve used on the iOS platform has a mind map-like function, allowing for entry association and displaying relationships between entries.
Keyboard: Sogou Input Method, SwiftKey, Math Keyboard, GIF Keyboard
The keyboard is also very important! It affects efficiency! I won’t say much about Chinese input methods, Sogou is good, keep it up! For foreign languages, SwiftKey is a real magic tool. The word association is very accurate, and it automatically changes tenses. I only use this for German because it also automatically conjugates verbs, easily avoiding various grammatical errors.
Math Keyboard is a dedicated keyboard for inputting mathematical formulas.
If you previously found your math applications unsatisfactory, you might need this.
Finally, the GIF Keyboard is specifically for inputting GIFs. Theme matching, unbeatable in meme wars!
Excited!
Others: IF by IFTTT, Xavion, Four-Dimensional Space, Zhihu
IF is a very magical application that connects various platforms and hardware together.
If certain conditions are met, a specific action is executed, for example, when you go to a gay bar, it automatically posts “I’m coming out~” on Facebook. An essential application for improving efficiency.
Xavion is a relatively niche application, and I really can’t think of anyone else in China who would buy this besides someone as bored as me… Moreover, the previously purchased X-Plane version has now been removed from the shelves. In simple terms, this is an intelligent EFIS.
It can automatically find the nearest airport, automatically calculate the route, and automatically generate the descent path. The version I bought is used with X-Plane flight simulation, but their main product is the airborne version. The developer is Austin Meyer of X-Plane, and he has very ambitious goals, wanting to create an unmanned aircraft.
Four-Dimensional Space, a favorite among fans of “The Three-Body Problem,” the author uses various methods to guide you to imagine four-dimensional space.
Remember to practice more when you have time, everything will eventually become clear.
Finally, remember to install Zhihu!!!
There are still fields that I really don’t know much about, please supplement
Geography:……
Biology and Medicine:……
History:……

Question: How to find more academic applications?
Answer: Check the education section in the app store, of course, Apple’s editors will occasionally miss some good stuff. You can check some excellent software developers to see if they have other works. Check if there are excellent applications on other platforms that have an iOS version.
