PhotoMath

Mathematics is a dreaded subject for many of us. Thankfully, apps such as PhotoMath are here to provide the much-needed relief, breezing us through those gibberish-looking equations and logarithms. Touted to be world’s first camera calculator, all you need to do with PhotoMath is point the camera towards a mathematical expression, and the result instantly pops up on your screen. Alternatively, by pressing the steps button, you can view the full step-by-step solution to the problem. While children can use the app as a tool to learn the basics, parents can use it to check their children’s homework. PhotoMath currently supports basic arithmetics, fractions, decimal numbers, linear equations and several functions like logarithms.
