It runs locally on the Phone. Beleive it or not, its surprisingly fast beyond my expectations. Takes just a fraction of second for simple things. But, if you do complicated math, like solving differential eqns, it will take a bit of time. But still, the recent phone specs can match closely with the speed of desktops.
The original pythonforandroid has some trouble when I tried to use Sympy. And thats how the whole project started :) I compiled python for my use and then created the core which then loads SymPy. For plotting, I use the achartengine library for android. But, it will be changed later. Since the app is in constant development, it is designed to have smaller sized updates. So, it downloads nearly all its dependencies from internet. The libraries are Python, Sympy and MimeTex. It comes to nearly 8MB of download and much more after extracting. But, they are all done in external storage. So no issues. I will definitely reflect back and additions/changes I make to the code. As of now, I use SymPy as it is. Yes. Included SymPy in the description page. It will also be mentioned in the help page. On Mar 10, 3:21 am, "Aaron S.
