Pick the branch of math you're working on

Each branch has its own page with a fuller topic list, worked examples and the calculators that go with it. Start where your homework is.

Algebra

Linear and quadratic equations, systems, inequalities, factoring, exponents and logarithms, and the word problems that have to be turned into an equation first. Start on the AI algebra solver for the full topic list.

  • Quadratics
  • Systems
  • Factoring

Calculus

Limits, derivatives and the chain rule, integration by parts and substitution, related rates, optimisation and area under a curve. The AI calculus solver works each one through with the rule named at every step.

  • Derivatives
  • Integrals
  • Limits

Geometry

Angles, triangles and circle theorems, area, perimeter, surface area and volume, coordinate geometry and proofs. The AI geometry solver shows which theorem justifies each line rather than just returning the measurement.

  • Circle theorems
  • Volume
  • Proofs

Statistics and probability

Mean, median and standard deviation, probability, distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests and regression. The AI statistics solver states the assumption behind each test before it runs the numbers, so you can see whether it applies to your data.

  • Distributions
  • Hypothesis tests
  • Regression

Linear algebra

Matrix multiplication, determinants and inverses, Gaussian elimination, vector spaces, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The linear algebra solver keeps the matrix layout intact through every row operation, so the working stays readable.

  • Determinants
  • Row reduction
  • Eigenvalues

Learning Math Through Understanding, Not Just Answers

This free AI math solver takes an algebra, calculus, geometry, statistics or linear algebra problem and works through it one line at a time. Type the problem, paste it, or upload a photo of the page.

Every step names the rule or method being applied — which identity was used, why a substitution was chosen, where a sign changed — so you follow the method instead of copying a number off the screen.

That is the difference between a math problem solver that returns a value and a math tutor you can learn from: the working is laid out to be read, checked and reused on the next question.

Solve for x: 5x - 3 = 2x + 12
1 Collect the x terms: subtract 2x from both sides
2 Move the constant: add 3 to both sides, 3x = 15
3 Divide both sides by the coefficient 3
Answer x = 5

Every step names the rule it applies.

Solve math problems step by step

Instead of guessing which formula to reach for, you see how the problem is approached: what is given, what is being asked for, which rule connects the two, and only then the arithmetic.

That order is what makes the working checkable. You can hold it next to your own solution and find the exact line where the two answers separate, then ask a follow-up about that step on its own.

  • How the problem is set up before any arithmetic happens
  • Which rule, identity or theorem justifies each line
  • Where the signs, brackets and units come from
  • What the answer means once the algebra is finished
Rule named at each step

A quadratic that will not factor

Discriminant checked first, then the quadratic formula

The derivative of a product

Product rule named before it is applied

A negative under the square root

Flagged as no real solution, not quietly dropped

Solve a math problem from a photo

Upload a photo of the page, a screenshot, or a PDF of the worksheet. The solver reads the expression — including fractions, exponents and matrix layouts — from the image, then works through it step by step. Handwritten working is read the same way, which is useful when you want to find where your own solution went wrong rather than start over.

  • Photos of the textbook page, taken on your phone
  • Screenshots of an online worksheet or a lecture slide
  • PDF problem sets, worked one question at a time
  • Handwritten working, read straight off the page

Get free math homework help anytime

Most searches for math homework help happen late, the night before the problem set is due. A free math solver that is awake then is worth more than one that is thorough on Monday morning.

Ask a question and get a clear explanation, work a problem set through one question at a time, or have the solver generate extra practice on whichever topic keeps costing you marks — factoring one week, integration by parts the next. Everything runs on a free account, with no credit card.

  • Ask math questions and get worked explanations
  • Work homework problems through one step at a time
  • Generate extra practice on the topics you keep missing
  • Revise for a test with the solver you did the homework on

Why did you multiply both sides by the denominator?
To clear the fraction before solving. Once both sides are multiplied by (x - 2), the equation is linear and the same three steps as before apply — here it is written out.

What the AI Math Solver covers

From middle-school arithmetic and high-school algebra to introductory university math — the topic groups most math homework falls into.

Arithmetic and pre-algebra

Fractions, decimals and percentages, ratios and proportions, order of operations, negative numbers, and the word problems that have to be translated into an expression first.

Algebra

Linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, inequalities, factoring, polynomials, exponents and logarithms, functions and the shape of their graphs.

Geometry and trigonometry

Angles and triangles, circle theorems, area, perimeter and volume, coordinate geometry, the unit circle, trigonometric identities and two-column proofs.

Calculus

Limits and continuity, derivatives and the chain rule, integration by substitution and by parts, related rates, optimisation and the area between curves.

Statistics and probability

Descriptive statistics, probability rules, distributions, sampling, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, correlation and linear regression.

Linear algebra and discrete math

Matrix operations, determinants and inverses, Gaussian elimination, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, plus logic, sets, combinatorics and proof by induction.

Problems that start in physics and turn into calculus once the equation is set up are covered by the AI physics solver, and algorithm, complexity and discrete-structures questions by the AI computer science solver.

Check your own working and find the mistake

A model answer that disagrees with yours only tells you that something is wrong, not where. Paste or photograph your own working alongside the problem and ask where the two diverge.

The solver traces your steps against its own and points to the first line where they differ — a dropped minus sign, a bracket expanded the wrong way, a rule applied where its condition did not hold. Fixing that one line is usually the whole lesson.

where did I go wrong check my working is this step valid
Your working

-(3x - 4) = -3x - 4

-(3x - 4) = -3x + 4

The minus sign multiplies both terms inside the bracket, so the -4 becomes +4.

The first line where the two solutions differ.

Free Math Calculators and Tools

Working through a specific calculation? These free tools solve one step at a time and show the working, so you can check each number against your own.

Every one of these shows the intermediate values, not just the result — the same reason the solver writes the steps out.
