Extended emulator of МК 61/54 vs PariDroid
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Extended emulator of МК 61/54
МК 61 was the best seller of all USSR programmable calculators of 1980-s (B3-34, MK-54, MK-56, MK-61, MK-52). Calculators are emulated on microcode level so they behave exactly like the original devices, including all non-documented features and inaccurate calculations. For ease of use application features saving and loading emulation states. This app's emulation engine Java code is based on C++ source of Felix Lazarev's emu145 project. Emulation was highly optimized for speed and should run in real time on any phone. It's an extended version of the original emulator МК 61/54 by Stanislav Borutsky (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cax.pmk). This version allows to export/import programs from external files and contains some UI improvements. Hint 0: you can found the list of all tips in the About dialog Hint 1: touch calculator's indicator to toggle slow/fast mode. Indicator's blinking looks better in slow mode. Hint 2: you can choose between MK-61 and MK-54 using menu option that becomes visible when calculator is switched off. Hint 3: with the menu "Import" you can import programs from external files, several such programs you can find in https://xvadim.github.io/xbasoft/pmk/pmk.html Hit 4: you can open menu by long tap on the "Вкл" label.
PariDroid
PariDroid is a native port of PARI/GP to Android. PARI/GP is a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast computations in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves...), but also contains a large number of other useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers, etc., and a lot of transcendental functions.
