Have you ever stared avid at a complicated equation in need of a solution and  wished for some kind of ax to cut through the problem.
Mathpix is the "first app that can help you solve maths by simply taking pictures of your hand writting" may provide that awaited app.


Lead developer Nicolas Jimenez posted a Demo on  Vimeo of Mathpix going through its paces. Users has to open the app, active their camera. When held over a wide variety of users Handwritten problems, the app highlights them in green—as the iPhone does when redeeming an iTunes card via camera, for example —then sends them to a server for solutions.

“The process of entering math on a computer is painful and I wanted to find a better way,” Quoted by Nicolas Jimenez

Jimenez said the Mathpix team teaches “powerful deep learning algorithms to read math by feeding them large amounts of training data,” and the apps “algorithms get smarter over time as we get data from users.”

Mathpix is used by high school students for algebra and graphing, and calculus students use it "primarily for solving integrals, for which we provide step by step solutions," Jimenez said.

It’s easy to assume math teachers and professors might be pretty wary of students having such a potentially powerful app at their disposal, but
publisher-provided info indicated that Mathpix “also shows you step-by-step solutions to tricky problems, guiding you to the solution with simple, effective instructions.”
