MathPix is a free iOS app that lets you point your phone camera at any maths problem and calculate the solution in seconds. That includes anything from a simple sum to a full-on algebraic equation. MathPix also supports fractions, roots, logarithms, trigonometry, integrals, derivatives and infinite series.
All you have to do is capture the equation within the brackets that appear on your screen within the app - a bit like scanning a QR code. The app uses image recognition technology to identify the numbers and symbols, so you can use it on hand-written problems as well as typed ones. It even offers step-by-step solutions to tricky problems, so if you're required to show your working in your maths homework, it will do that for you too.
Mathpix was developed by Stanford PhD student Nico Jimenez, with help from Stanford graduate Paul Ferrell. The app is being pitched as a bona fide educational tool, but we can see it becoming the bane of maths teachers' lives around the world.
