Instead of being a barrier to success, it’s a tool and skill they can apply to all areas of their life. That means it’s also no longer a barrier for you when you’re trying to help them with their homework. Instead of hours spent after school hacking away at a problem as you both grow more and more frustrated, you click and an answer and explanation are there, right in front of you! Blink.

With each problem submitted, the algorithm grows stronger and its ability to solve more problems improves. It’s a smart program, and it’s also fast — blink-of-the-eye fast! That’s the promise of Math Celebrity: When you submit a problem, you’ll have an answer with a step- by-step explanation … in one second! You might think, “How’s that possible?” Easy. Blink your eyes.

Not by coincidence, that’s also how long it takes our search box to run your math problem and display each step of the process on the screen. Submit your math problem, blink your eyes, and as you open them, the solution to your
