One of the struggles that students face in school is the study of Mathematics and that includes solving difficult math problems. Some problems tend to lead in a very lengthy solution before arriving at the answer but one is not assured if it is the correct or not.
Tired of all these? Worry no more! Well there is an app that solves math problems like a lightning-fast camera calculator. PhotoMath can help you solve problems about arithmetic, fractions, decimal numbers, linear equations, equation systems and several functions like logarithms by “reading” questions with the help of your smartphone camera.
Not only that. It does not only give you the answer but it provides a step-by-step guide as well of how each problem is solved. How cool is that? Surely, this will be a great help for students, teachers and parents.
PhotoMath also works with problems that deals with integrals, trigonometry and derivatives but it still works on its detailed solving steps.
“This app works splendidly. It does all that it promises, which is rare for a modern app, and it's super easy to use. The solutions (when they are explained) are explained step by step and very clearly. “ , Ian Laughlin said.
“It is the best! This app is the reason I passed math! Simple, clean and accurate. The best part is that this app doesn't just give the answer but a step by step process of solving the problem.”, Kelsey Freitas added.
On the other side of the coin, some netizens think that this app doesn’t bring any good to students at all.
Some students, parents and even teachers think that PhotoMath serves only as a means for students to cheat. It helps students shortcut the process of solving. They may become too dependent on it and things will really turn bad. This can be a real burden in the learning of students.
Well, good or bad, the effects and results will definitely matter on how one chooses to use it.
PhotoMath is now available for iOS and Windows mobile devices. An Android version will be available in 2015.
