“We have a team of software engineers as well as math teachers that try to say, hey, what’s the best way to approach and explain this and how do we codify it into an expert solver system.”

It’s appreciated by many teachers, parents and of course students.  In fact one high school student told us it is especially useful when checking homework to see if it was done correctly.  The company tells us they are looking at expanding into more subject areas as well.  You can find PhotoMath for Android or iOS and there’s more info at www.photomath.app.
