Whether it be math, physics, chemistry, or statistics, Wolfram Alpha will be able to guide you through some of the hardest problems you will encounter. Wolfram uses its vast collection of algorithms and data to compute answers and generate reports on anything from mathematics to web and computer systems. I personally use this app when I am in need of a math tutor. 
This educational app specializes in the process of solving a problem.  In addition to showing the in-depth process, the app also allows users to view the problems in a variety of different ways.  You can look at equations as graphs with specific points plotted for your convenience.  Alternate forms are also included to provide different approaches to solving the problem, accommodating all types of learning styles. 

I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who struggles with multiple step math equations.  My personal struggles with math occur when I am deep within a problem but get to a point where I simply do not know what to do.  I get mathematicians block, but the step-by-step illustrations provided by Wolfram Alpha allowed me to visualize the steps more clearly and ultimately avoid being stumped by a problem.

 If you are the kind of person that gets a bitter dissatisfaction the minute you see an equation with fractions, exponents, and variables, then Wolfram is for you.   

In addition to downloading the app on your Smartphone or tablet, Wolfram Alpha also has a website with many of the same features offered on the application. 

Wolfram Alpha is available on the Android Market for $2.99 and on the Apple App Store for $3.99
