Microsoft Math Solver
Educational mathematics application From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microsoft Math Solver (formerly Microsoft Mathematics and Microsoft Math) is an entry-level educational app that solves math and science problems. Developed and maintained by Microsoft, it is primarily targeted at students as a learning tool. Until 2015, it ran on Microsoft Windows. Since then, it has been developed for the web platform and mobile devices.
Microsoft Math was originally released as a bundled part of Microsoft Student. It was then available as a standalone paid version starting with version 3.0. For version 4.0, it was released as a free downloadable product[4] and was called Microsoft Mathematics 4.0. It is no longer in active development and has been removed from the Microsoft website.[5] A related freeware add-in, called "Microsoft Mathematics Add-In for Word and OneNote," is also available from Microsoft and offers comparable functionality (Word 2007 or higher is required).[3][6]
Microsoft Math received the 2008 Award of Excellence from Tech & Learning Magazine.[7]
