Microsoft Math Solver

Microsoft Math Solver is one of the most capable free math tools available — covering a broader range of problem types than Photomath, with step-by-step explanations that go beyond just giving the answer.

## Input Methods

- **Photo**: point your camera at a printed or handwritten problem - **Type**: enter the equation in the text field (supports LaTeX) - **Draw**: write the equation with your finger on the drawing pad - **Import**: paste from clipboard

The OCR for handwritten math is accurate across most legible handwriting and supports standard math notation.

## Problem Types Covered

Microsoft Math Solver handles: - Arithmetic and pre-algebra (fractions, decimals, percentages, exponents) - Algebra (linear equations, quadratics, systems of equations, inequalities) - Trigonometry (sin/cos/tan, identities, unit circle) - Calculus (limits, derivatives, integrals, series) - Statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, probability) - Matrix operations - Word problems (select types)

## Step-by-Step Explanations

Each solution includes numbered steps with explanations of the underlying rule applied at each step — not just the answer. For algebra, this means showing factoring, substitution, or completing the square as distinct steps with labels.

## Interactive Graph

For functions, Math Solver generates an interactive graph. You can explore the function's behavior, find roots, and identify key features directly in the interface.

## Completely Free

Microsoft Math Solver is completely free with no premium tier. It's available as a web app (math.microsoft.com) and mobile apps (iOS and Android). No account required.
