Say it with us: Kids today have it sooooo easy. A new smartphone app will do their math homework for them, provided it's not too complicated. PhotoMath by microblink uses a phone's camera to solve equations and then teaches you the step-by-step method for solving it yourself. The app can do arithmetic: addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. It can handle fractions. It knows what 23 is and can calculate the root of 246. It can even do simple linear equations, provided the x you're solving for is italicized so the app doesn't confuse it with the x multiplication symbol. The only catch is that the equation you're trying to solve must be printed text, rather than handwritten. So forget trying to calculate that tip by scribbling it on a restaurant napkin. (Don't worry, there's already a million apps for that.) The app may pose a problem for schools are already dealing with smartphone overload. Math teachers will have to be extra vigilant during tests to prevent students from cheating. The PhotoMath app is available for iPhones and Windows phones and is coming to Android phones in 2015. |
跟著我們一起說：今天的孩子們過得太舒服了。 據CNN10月22日報道，Microblink公司推出了一款新型智能手機應用PhotoMath， 能輕松幫助學生解決數學題——只要不是太復雜。只需要將手機的攝像頭對準要計算的方程式，PhotoMath便會給出清晰的解題步驟。 PhotoMath目前可以解決基本運算加減乘除，還能處理分數。例如，它可以計算出246的根以及23的值。它甚至還能解決簡單的線性方程。不過，在使用時，用戶需保證x是斜體的，否則PhotoMath不能區分出x和乘號。 不過，PhotoMath目前只能識別打印字體的方程，手寫的還無法識別。因此，不要去嘗試用PhotoMath去解決寫在餐巾紙上的問題。（別擔心，其它很多應用都能識別手寫體。） 這款應用可能會造成問題，因為學校已經在處理智能手機的很多問題。為了防止學生在考試時用PhotoMath作弊，數學老師在監考時需十分警惕。 目前，這款應用支持iPhone和Windows phone用戶，而Android用戶則要等到2015年。 （譯者 Stellaliu 編輯 祝興媛） 掃一掃，關注微博微信
