There are many kids across the world that struggle with Math. A British start-up company called Microblink has created a new app called PhotoMath, that automatically solves mathematical problems from printed worksheets or books. The app allows you to simply capture a picture of the math problem with your smartphone camera to get an answer in return. You are also provided with a step by step solution to help you with solving the problem on your own.
