Apple's latest software updates, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, introduce several new features for users. One of the most notable additions is Math Notes in the Calculator app. This feature allows users to write down mathematical expressions using Apple Pencil or their finger and receive instant solutions.

The Calculator app now offers three modes: Basic, Scientific, and Math Notes. The last mode is exclusive to iPadOS 18 and iOS 18. With Math Notes, you can solve complex calculations involving variables and real-time adjustments. Additionally, graphs can be generated from equations with a simple tap on the equals sign.

Apple's WWDC 2024 keynote introduced this feature as part of the software updates. The Calculator app is now available on iPad, offering features that were previously exclusive to iPhone users. Math Notes supports complex calculations and real-time adjustments, making it an essential tool for students and professionals alike.

Math Notes can be accessed by opening the Calculator app in iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 and selecting the Math Notes mode. Users can write out any mathematical expression using Apple Pencil or their finger. The equals sign triggers the calculation, displaying the result in real-time within the note.

For more complex calculations involving variables, users can define these variables within their notes. Changing a variable updates the answer instantly, helping users understand how each component affects their overall equation.

Math Notes also offers an Insert Graph option. This feature transforms equations into graphs, allowing users to visualize mathematical concepts and observe the impact of variable changes in real-time.
