There are many web applications that solve problems and mathematical formulas (we made a list a few months ago in this article ), but few are created for mobile devices.
The problem of creating systems that solve formulas mobile is capturing data, why inphotomath ( photomath.net ) have chosen to use the camera, recognize the characters and symbols in general formula for the result.
Available for iOS and Windows, with android version scheduled for 2015, scans various formulas and leaves available within the application itself, where it's always possible to access the latest captured. You can view the step by step solution, and the result on the captured image.
The developers explain that magic does, so do not expect even a power as awesome as the one offered by Wolfram Alpha and the ability to understand handwritten numbers or extremely complex formulas.
It's actually more of a curiosity that shows an increasing trend to recognize mathematical symbols to provide automated solutions, a headache for all teachers who strive to make the calculations are the result of a "movement of neurons," not a photo from a mobile.
