About this app

Take a photo of your math problem and Algebrator will solve and explain it!
We have been helping high-school and college students conquer math for more than a decade. Our camera math solver shows all steps of the solution as well as explanations to any math textbook problem you enter. This camera calculator app solves math homework problems just like your teacher! Explanations will tell you not only which algebra rule is being used, but also how it is applied in your particular math problem. Snap the problem picture or enter it via user friendly math keyboard to get instant steps and solution!

Fraction calculator will show steps to add, subtract and multiply fractions, as well as complex fraction division. After reducing fractions or rational numbers to simplest terms, fraction to decimal calculator will assist you with converting fractions to percentages. Lowest common denominator (lcm, lcd) calculator will help make equivalent fractions. Simplifying fractions also includes rationalizing denominators and numerators.
Graphing calculator will graph lines, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, x and y intercepts. It will produce graphs of quadratic equations, functions and parabola equations, linear equations (lines) and inequalities, trig. functions (e.g. cos graph) and curves such as hyperbola and circle equations. The graphing calculator math app will also show fractions on the number line, find the slope of a line as well as a parabola vertex. After placing polynomials in standard form, it will graph any polynomial function. Many other functions such as logarithmic, exponential and absolute value can also be graphed.
Equations and inequalities can be solved by several math equation solvers (e.g. quadratic equation calculator, linear equations calculator and system of equations solver (solving by substitution and addition)). Quadratic calculator will put a quadratic equation in standard form and then either use quadratic formula or solve by factoring. Logarithmic, rational, exponential, linear and quadratic equation solver will solve for x or any other math variable. Systems of linear equations and inequalities will be graphed to produce visually appealing math solution. Linear inequalities, polynomial equations, absolute value equations and inequalities are all solved by our algebra solver that shows work just like your teacher.
Factoring solver can factor polynomials, trinomials and binomials. It will factor quadratic equation so that it can be solved by the equation solver. Many different factoring methods such as factoring by grouping, difference of two squares, difference of two cubes, sum of two cubes are used. Greatest Common Factor calculator and perfect square trinomials are also used in the polynomial factoring calculator.
Trigonometry solver simplifies algebraic expressions with trig functions (such as sin or cos). It knows special values on trig unit circle (e.g. cos 0, sin 0, cos 1, sin 1, cos 30, sin 30, cos 45, sin 45, cos 90, sin 90). Sin cos tan and other trig functions can be simplified and graphed.
Exponents calculator applies exponent power rules and laws of exponents. It multiplies and divides fractional and negative exponents, using the properties of exponents. It also knows logarithm rules to apply to logarithmic functions.
Simplify expression calculator can simplify any algebraic or math expression, showing you all the step in the process. This includes complex numbers and imaginary numbers that are handled by calculator for complex numbers.
Radical simplifier includes cube and square root solver.
Square root properties are used while solving radical equations and simplifying radical expressions.
Matrix solver can multiply matrices, find inverse matrix and perform other matrix operations. Matrix determinant calculator can find any determinant value.
If you need help with math then our free math app is the here for you. Softmath has provided help with Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and College Algebra since 1990.

Ratings and reviews

It was a surprise and a pleasure to find such a functional calculator. I am used to switching between different computer applications with different individual functions while helping my child with homework. With 3 different workspaces to work at the same time, the big plus. Great computer !!! Would recommend it to anyone, especially students.

Great application! I use it quite a lot for Algebra. Equations need to be clearly written in order to be recognized, but you can always edit them with a computer. For the time being, it doesn't solve text problems, but I hope to be a feature to be added in the near future. It explains the full steps and even better if you have the plus version you will have to purchase. I recommend that.

Use it instinctively AND you can build your own keyboard layout! Graphing is the most comprehensive and functional app I've found for Android (and better than anything I've found for ipad / iphone). Great value for money and more! The full screen feature is perfect for screenshots. I teach algebra, and this is currently my favorite app for creating spreadsheet images.
