We are excited to announce that you can now use Math Solver in Microsoft Edge (version 91 or higher) to get help with a wide range of mathematical concepts–from elementary arithmetic and quadratic equations to calculus and statistics.
Math Solver in Microsoft Edge lets you to take picture of a math problem – be it handwritten or printed – and then provides an instant solution with step-by-step instructions to help you learn how to reach the solution on your own. It also comes ready with a mathematical keyboard so you can easily type math problems instead of hunting around a traditional keyboard for the characters you need. That’s not all. After solving your problem, Math Solver provides many options to continue learning with additional materials such as quizzes, worksheets, and video tutorials.
Read on to learn how Microsoft Math Solver in Edge can help with your homework and help you gain confidence in a variety of concepts with.

I think you should make it universal on all apps on the system, not just websites. On Windows 10, you could put it in the calculator app.
agree with you, i'd love that in calculator app.
please submit your feedback in feedback hub

I have seen many comments about this tool being ONLY useful or relevant to students. I learned math on a slide rule and am 69 yr old. I have some of the best calculators available, and yet this is so much easier for me to access and use rather than digging through the pile on my desk for one of those thinkin' machines. It doesn't matter if I am designing a crossover for a speaker, manifold back pressure, or a 1/4 wavelength for an antenna. It can do the job, it doesn't run out of batteries, and is always right where you left it. @HotCakeX

Totally agree. I don’t know why people want this out so badly. Maybe they just hate math.
or a bloated browser with features they don't use.
hating or loving math is not the point of the conversation here. can't judge people for what they love or hate, it's their own business.

@Shahina it doesn't work when solving for a complex equation like the integral of the square root of tan (x)

"Rewards", "Maths Solver", "Pinterest"....should be extension (on PC) or Apps (on mobile), instead of built-in function of a browser.
I thought MS was moving correctly toward more modular/flexible browser...and Windows OS itself. Unnecessary function should be "installed/enabled by user, not default" to reduce attack surface.
Really dislike this.

@kamfung I can see your point. They could have made it an 'Extension' or an 'APP' (I hate that term). I think because it is tied to the Web for a solution, especially with the copy-n-paste and handwriting abilities it needs a little bit more help In the computing dept. Remember also, that they are trying to FORCE us to become cloud dependant. Can't you just wait till you only have the use of a dumb phone and the cloud to do all of your computing?
