A Search Engine for Equations

Think of it as an answer engine that can help you make sense of any math equation.

Math is a scientific “language” — and like any other language, the meaning of a math expression changes with context. Symbolab is meant to be a search engine for discovering the meaning of an equation, and it helps you do that not with search keywords but with mathematical symbols.

Symbolab uses machine learning and semantic search to understand and give step-by-step solutions to algebraic, trigonometric, statistics, and calculus topics. There is a section for chemical equations as well.

The examples section contains some examples to see the flow of the site. Selecting an example will take you to the Solutions page. You can click see more in order to see more examples. Try a math problem of your own with the pad and the input box. 

The step-by-step solution helps you work through the explanation. You have the option to hide the steps and work through it on your own. Here are some key features:

• The engine has more than 300 calculators. You can use the calculators (and graphing calculators) to solve a variety of equations and download the results in PDF.
• Pick a topic and practice math equations. You can choose from pre-algebra, matrices, vectors, functions, exponents, trigonometry, calculus, and word problems.
• Test yourself with quizzes. Check your progress with the quizzes on the site and also make your own.
• Download PDF Cheatsheets. Print them and carry them around for handy reference (not to cheat during your exams).
• Save your work in an online notebook. Register for an account and save your practice problems in a personal notebook.
• Create groups. Make your own group and interact with other students.

Math is a mental game. So, try the DIY approach first. If it doesn’t work, then use Symbolab to break down the solutions and understand the individual parts of the problem.

Is Symbolab one of the more comprehensive math education tools on the web? Can it help you conquer your fear of math?
