7 July 2020 (Paris, France) – Photomath has built a brilliant app which uses computer vision to solve math problems.
It gives instantly the solution of an equation after simply pointing a mobile phone camera to it. Then, it walks the user through a step-by-step explanation using animated instructions and building graphs.
The Croatian startup, which started in 2014, raised $6 million last year. You can read the complete story by clicking here. Here is a short video on how it works:
Needless to stay, students love it but it is getting push-back from teacher who say it’s necessary for students to “do their” homework and practice math, think by themselves. Me? They must suffer through algebra as we all did, remembering:
But to be honest, I do use the Wolfram Cloud App which has been optimized for mobile. It combines a state-of-the-art notebook interface with a very productive programming language – scalable for programs from tiny to huge, with immediate access to a vast depth of built-in algorithms and knowledge. I’m hooked on it. For tech/math geeks, a brief intro:
