If you’re a student studying Mathematics, or anything related to it, you’ve probably heard of the new app that has been released called PhotoMath. What’s so special about PhotoMath? It’s actually an application that solves equations through your smartphone camera. Yes, you read that right!
You’d think, where the hell was this stuff back when we did our O levels and A levels? Probably, it’ll still be a bit of a disadvantage since students "benefiting’ from this app will find it even more troubling to end up solving problems on their own when it comes to their tests and examinations. But fear not! It is also capable of giving a step-by-step guide as to how the equation is solved, giving the student the help needed when there is no tutor or help available elsewhere.
People will definitely have their respective views on the issue for obvious reasons but I’m sure it’ll come in handy for struggling students out there, one way or another!
PhotoMath is currently available to download on iOS and Windows Phone devices but the Android version is yet to be released.
