Symbolab

Symbolab is an advanced AI-powered mathematics education platform that provides detailed step-by-step solutions for problems spanning algebra, calculus, trigonometry, linear algebra, statistics, and more. Acquired by Course Hero (now part of Chegg) in 2022, it serves millions of students worldwide as both a problem-solving tool and a learning resource.

The platform's math engine goes beyond simple answer computation — it shows every intermediate step, explains the mathematical rules applied at each stage, and offers alternative solution methods when applicable. Users can input problems via keyboard with a specialized math equation editor, natural language, or by uploading a photo of a handwritten or printed problem.

Symbolab features an interactive graphing calculator, a practice problem generator that creates similar problems for reinforcement, and a notebook feature for saving and organizing solutions. The platform covers the full math curriculum from pre-algebra through graduate-level mathematics, including differential equations, discrete math, and linear algebra.

For teachers and institutions, Symbolab offers a classroom mode where educators can assign practice problems, track student progress, and identify areas where students struggle. The platform integrates with Google Classroom and supports multiple languages.
