About Wombat
Wombat is a mobile-friendly and modern graphical interface for Numbat programming language, which is a high-precision scientific calculator with first-class support for physical units and dimensions.
It lets you write expressions naturally, combine units safely, and convert results instantly.
It knows about nearly all physical units and their dimensions, so you can work with real-world quantities without worrying about unit conversions.
Wombat is built for scientists, engineers, students, and anyone who works with real-world quantities.
The app keeps a live Numbat session, displays previous calculations in a scrollable history, and provides quick access to examples, syntax help, constants, and completion suggestions.
Calculations can mix ordinary mathematics with unit-aware conversions, so results stay dimensionally meaningful while the interface stays friendly.
