Hi,
Thank you, this is very great,
but I really think this should be an extension in Edge addons store, and not part of the browser by default.
I understand you can disable it or use group policy etc. but the files and component is still in the browser.
extensions are modules, people can add/remove them at any time. this math resolver is not something that I would use often, so I don't want it in the browser, but a lot of students and kids will find it useful.
I would Really appreciate if you decouple it from the browser package and put it in the Edge addons store, as an exclusive extension/addon for Microsoft Edge, so that only those users who want it will add it to their browser.Thank you

- I honestly never even used it.
The feature itself is available of course in here: https://mathsolver.microsoft.com/en
You can use Bing Chat AI too, so much better.
- Hey, so I just started to use Math Solver and I'm having a lot of fun. I came across a problem that was too wordy for the Math Solver. It goes: find the distance between , A(5, -3) and B(2,1)
The website has a 'solve' button that shows the work. So I tried manually typing one of the steps in the solution into the calculator, but I can't figure out how to type SUBSCRIPTS. Does anyone know how I can type a subscript in manually on the calculator?? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!Psykoshr00m Type an underscore. Nothing will be displayed, but the characters you type afterwards will be subscripted. To exit the subscript area, press the right arrow.
- Thanks for post!
Great addition to Edge. I read all the other responses to its addition and saw the criticism and suggestions that is should be an extension. If we were still computing on the IBM PC 5150 pulling DOS off a floppy, stuck with a 640KB ram limit, and still trying to process with an 8-bit Intel 8088 (I still have one of those) then the criticism would be justified. But I think today's systems can handle the marginal overhead. I love it! Shahina
David_Morebold Nowaday we talk about security and unnecessary/unwanted functionality should not be installed by default, no matter how 'minimal' it is.
Really an amazing resource, especially for me engineering student will help a lot ...
Shahina This feature does not seem to work in MS Edge on my PC, I am using version 92.0.902.62 (64-bit). What are the requirements i.e. browser version, OS etc.?

Hey JourneymanMC thanks for trying out the feature and sharing your feedback. Math solver should work on Edge 92. Can you please help us with filing feedback from Edge Settings > Help and Feedback > Send feedback?
We get the all the necessary info that can help us diagnose the problem.
- aditya10 So the issue is fixed, and math solver works just great. I believe the issue was due to language settings.
Shahina Use of this feature extends well beyond purely educational. Photographers who print and custom frame their work could find this an excellent tool. This also applies to woodworkers/hobby modelers etc. where fractions could become a challenge. Personally I have been using various web apps to create my dimensions for printing/custom mounting photographs and woodworking and found that the Math Solver combines all into one nice package, with all the features I need and easy to access. On a final note: as someone who did most of my education on the metric system, this is truly a valuable tool. Thanks and great job for something I use daily.
MrBGMT Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details. Could you tell us more about the issue? do you see the issue consistently? Would you be able to share screenshot? you can also provide us feedback by going to, select more menu ( three dots icon) > Help and Feedback > send feedback. Do mention math solver in the feedback 🙂
This is an excellent feature and one I'm happy to see in the browser.
There have been some comments that this should have been made an extension rather than a feature within the browser, and I see their logic but don't share that conviction. I very much see this as a part of an entire suite of tools that includes web capture, annotation, and read aloud that make information--and its meaning--more accessible to all. The insight that is expressed by believing in an idea like this, developing it, and supporting it in a release is tremendous.
