Question

I might think there are some way to draw graphs related mathematics, for example by using quartz, OpenGL ES, cocos2D. But I am really confusing what is best library and best how for how to implement that in iphone or ipad. In addition to, what is the best libray for calculating scientific math.

Answer 1

I'm not sure that there is anything out there currently that's dedicated to drawing mathematical graphs, but there are several charting libraries that could display your data nicely. I think you would have to provide your own data in most cases though.

There's a list of charting libraries available here:

Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

You can use Quartz or OpenGL ES for drawing. There is a nice demo by apple about "QuartzDemo" for this. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/QuartzDemo/Introduction/Intro.html
