About Mathway

Mathway solves problems in basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics, finite math, linear algebra, chemistry and physics. You can type a problem, upload a photo of handwritten or printed work, or use one of its dedicated calculators for equations, factoring, derivatives, graphing and statistics.

Instead of returning only an answer, it shows the method behind each solution so students can follow the working. It is available in the browser and as an Android app, with a paid upgrade for extra features.
