Cross Platform Mobile Application for solving Calculus

Mathematics is widely used in engineering and education domains. The ubiquitous use of smartphones makes it easy for a user to digitally look for a math solution. Manually typing a mathematical expression is a cumbersome process; many a time, even basic mathematical expressions with a superscript and subscript get difficult to interpret. As a result, this paper describes a cross-platform mobile scanner application integrated with optical character recognition (OCR) to extract the math expression from a handwritten or printed image, as well as the final solution to the problem. The mathematical equation scanner proposed is an efficient and time effective solution for solving polynomial and calculus equations.
