Leibniz dreamed of machines that could calculate and reason. Three hundred and fifty years later, mathematics has created AI, a machine that can both calculate and reason—and thereby create new mathematics. Mathematics has become a tool for its own development. What is the role of human reasoning?
When controversies arise, there will be no more need of disputation between two philosophers than between two accountants. For it will suffice to take their pens in their hands, to sit down to their counting tables, and to say to each other: Let us calculate. Leibniz, The Art of Discovery (1685)
For when propositions are denied, there is an end
of them, but if they bee allowed, it requireth a
new worke. The Essais of Sr. Francis Bacon, London, 1612
The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it. George Orwell
Nothing is created by coincidence, rather there is reason and necessity for everything. Leukippus, 5th Century BC.

SvaraRaderaMy review in Appstore:
SvaraRaderaI cannot see any student at any level who would benefit from using this app, or any other app in the New Math series. I don't even think all simulations are physically correct. If you don't know physics or math, you'll be confused and learn nothing. If you know physics and math you will be annoyed by the extremely bad implementation. If you as a teacher want to illustrate some physics or math for your students, the internet is full of so much better animations than in these apps. Or download a free ease-of-use simulation program like Algoodo!
This is an example of a nasty review with only one idea to kill by complete demolition of everything of my hand. I know that there anonym reviewers with such intentions, and I just have to live with that.
SvaraRaderaAnonym reviewer misses the important point that my apps belong to a program teaching students to create their own apps doing what simulators such as Algoodo do, and thus take an important further step beyond using ready-made simulators.
