Touch Waves 2.9

 

Touch Waves is an educative iPhone and iPad application in support to  an high-school or university course of wave physics. 

It contains not only a memorandum of the basic equations, but it also contains approximatively twenty animations illustrating the various concepts of wave physics.


This application runs also on the iPod Touch 3rd generation and later.
