When computers were being first invented, they were intended for what their name implies. Computing. Number crunching. Calculating. At its core, the Macintosh computer is yet another cluster of circuit boards and wires which is capable of processing billions of instructions per second.

All of this power is available, yet many early Mac OS X-ready machines do not have even a basic scientific calculator included with the operating system. This is where EdenMath comes in.

EdenMath is a scientific calculator which does standard arithmetic, probability, and trigonometric functions. This tool is primarily focused for users of Mac OS 10.1, but it is certainly useable with later Macintosh operating systems.

As of version 1.1.1, EdenMath is protected under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which allows other users to change the distributed source code for their own use. An excellent example of this practice is Robert Burns' GNUstep version of EdenMath. As an educational and scientific tool, EdenMath is freeware, costing the user nothing.

Version 1.2 is currently in (very slow) development. Once EdenMath 1.2 has been released, the development of EdenMath will be complete for the foreseeable future.

A tutorial is available for the aspiring Cocoa developer.
