In their own words
Cymath
Cymath solves math problems step by step using artificial intelligence and heuristics, with coverage of algebra, calculus and graphing on Android, iOS and the web. Algebra topics include equation solving, factoring, logarithms, exponents, complex numbers, quadratic equations, trigonometry, partial fraction decomposition and polynomial division. Calculus includes product, quotient and chain rules, along with u-substitution, integration by parts and trigonometric substitution. Graphing features can generate graphs and identify intercepts, asymptotes, domains and ranges. The website also offers practice problems in pre-algebra, fractions, algebra and calculus, with full solutions and steps. On iOS, a user can capture a problem with the camera instead of typing it. The free plan provides step-by-step solutions. Cymath Plus costs $5 a month and adds ad-free use, detailed sub-steps and explanations on most problems, bookmarks, solution history, definitions and examples; cancellation is available at any time.
