Dot Point Learning Systems

The Science Essentials app contains an extensive set of calculators, converters, utilities, data reference systems and glossaries.

A topics system is also available to quickly understand the principles of chemistry and physics.

Science Essentials can be installed on a tablet or mobile running the Android operating system with version 5.0 or higher

No connection to the Internet is necessary.

The system is fast and designed for ease of use.

The app contains over 400 calculators, including over 280 equation calculators.

Most equation calculators can solve for any variable in the equation.

A measurement converter is incorporated for most variables in the equation, and a notes system gives an explanation of the equation.
