Using QPython in smartphones as mobile computational laboratory anywhere, anytime and anyhow
summary
Demonstrates that QPython on Android phones runs real numerical lab work: a mass-spring model of a chick heart, a quadratic discriminant routine handling complex roots via cmath, a user-driven half‑life calculator, and a Runge–Kutta ODE solver implemented with while loops and lambdas. Code executes on handset hardware and produces numeric results suitable for teaching and illustrative apps, but remains limited by no NumPy/Matplotlib parity (plots and advanced arrays are not yet fully available).
