Usage:

To use the solver, first create a folder with the images of equations you want solved.

Then on the command line, from the directory 'Math Expression Solver', you can run the command: "python predictionUI.py pathToFolder", where pathToFolder is the path to the folder where you have saved the images

Refer to videoDemo.mov for a video demonstration

Details:

This program solves hand-written math expressions involving the symbols +, - x and fractions (including nested fractions). It recognizes the expression in the image and then gives a step-by-step solution. This was inspired by a previous term project video for CMU's 15-112 course that I found online (listed under References).

Future Plans:

• Add support for more operations, including brackets and exponentials
• Implement variable-based symbolic operations such as algebraic simplification, differentiation and integration
