Mathematics

Statistics, fractions, primes, equations and plane geometry, worked out exactly and drawn to scale.

Each of these applies a stated rule and shows the working, because the interesting part of a wrong answer is usually which convention was used. Where two conventions are both defensible — a sample standard deviation against a population one, or which of several ways to place a quartile — the page says which one it applied.

Area and Perimeter Calculator

Area and perimeter of nine plane shapes, each one drawn to scale with the measurements you gave.

Combinations and Permutations

Count the ways to choose r things from n — with or without order, with or without repeats.

Cubic Equation Solver

Solve ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0 — all three roots, complex ones included, and whole ones written as whole numbers.

Fraction Calculator

Add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions exactly, reduced and as a mixed number.

GCD and LCM Calculator

The greatest common divisor and least common multiple of two numbers or of a whole list.

Mean, Median, Mode and Standard Deviation

Describe a list of numbers, with both the sample and the population standard deviation.

Prime Factorisation

Break a whole number into its prime factors, list its divisors and check whether it is prime.

Quadratic Equation Solver

Solve ax² + bx + c = 0 with the discriminant, the vertex and the roots — complex ones included.

Rule of Three

Find the fourth number of a proportion — direct or inverse, because the two give different answers.

Triangle Solver

Find every side, angle and the area from three measurements — and both triangles when there are two.

Volume and Surface Area Calculator

Volume and surface area of ten solids, each one drawn and each formula shown with your numbers in it.

Weighted Average Calculator

Average grades with their weights, and find the grade the next test needs for the average you are aiming at.
