Solving Maths Equations as Simple as Taking a Picture Newly - TopicsExpress



          

Solving Maths Equations as Simple as Taking a Picture Newly unveiled PhotoMath for iOS and Windows Phone (Android is due in early 2015) uses your smartphones camera to scan math equations and not only solve them, but show the steps involved. Officially, its meant to save you time flipping through a textbook to check answers when youre doing homework or cramming for a test. However, theres a concern that this could trivialize learning -- just because it shows you how to solve a problem doesnt mean that the knowledge will actually sink in. And if teachers dont confiscate smartphones at the door, unscrupulous students could cheat when no one is looking. The chances of that happening arent very high at this stage, but apps like this suggest that schools might have to be vigilant in the future. You can download the app (iOS & Windows phone only) here: https://photomath.net/ via: Engadget
