Magic Number
Review Guide
Magic Number makes math easier.
It lets you see math as math. You type math like how you write it.
And you can edit without thinking. Everything feels natural.
This is what you see:
Why seeing properly matters?
Why say no to a better eye sight?
Without a clear view, it’s easy to make mistakes when you go beyond add and subtract.
The above calculation on a text-based calculator would look like
log2(16)*((32*sin(30))^(1/4)/5!)*arcosh(pi^2).
Why typing intuitively matters?
Typing text is easy. It is ‘what you think is what you type’.
Typing math is hard unless it is simple arithmetic.
And it gets harder as you get into middle school math.
On traditional calculators, you often have to split long calculation into smaller ones. On others, you have to learn their rules and syntax.
Why Magic Number?
Few apps show math properly. Sadly their typing and editing are too complicated for general use.
Magic Number is the first to ‘uncomplicate’ the representation and input of math. And editing is super easy. Just as WYSIWYG and Markdown make life easier for writers, Magic Number does the same for math.

Easier math
Here’s a quick tour of what’s easier in Magic Number.
Time calculation
You can treat time just like a number.
the journey takes 45 minutes, I will arrive at 10:15 am”.
Solve more problems
If you know the departure and arrival time, you can calculate the journey time like this:
‘10:15 – 9:30’. Great for those who are intimidated by math.
It makes calculating % rate easy.
Of course you can solve the algebraic equations.
