Augmented Reality Equation Plotter

Motivation: A student in a math, science, or engineering class will undoubtedly come across an equation in the course of his or her studies that the student will want to quickly visualize. Plotting the equation allows the student to better understand some property of the real variables the equation relates. However, this may still be difficult for younger students that are working on building the intuition to be able to visualize simple equations quickly in their thoughts. In addition, some three dimensional expressions are difficult to picture in one’s thoughts even with the intuition. While there are several tools available to the student to accomplish this plotting, all involve leaving the context the equation originally appears in; i.e. the notebook. The goal of this app is to provide the capability for the student to visualize an equation in his or her notes using the Android platform.
