Hints before answers
Ask for a nudge instead of the answer. You take the step yourself, which is the part that sticks.
Math help, one step at a time.
Type or snap a problem. Work each step yourself, with a hint when you get stuck. Free during beta.

- 2x + 5 = 13
What undoes the + 5?
Built so you do the thinking.
Snap it or type it
Photograph printed or handwritten homework, or type it in plain text. You confirm what it read before it solves.
One change per step
No skipped algebra. Each step does one thing and says why.
Practice that matches
Every solve ends with three similar problems to try on your own.
Every solve, saved
Search past problems and redo the ones you missed before a test.
Three model tiers
A fast one for quick checks, a deep-reasoning one for proofs and hard word problems. You pick per solve.
From stuck to solved, on your phone.
-
A hint, not the answer
Type your own next line. It checks the math, not the wording.
-
Every step yours
Steps you work out earn XP and keep your streak going.
-
Then one like it
Three similar problems follow every solve, so the method sticks.
A full solve, step by step.
Find the derivative of
f(x) = sin(x) · x²
Answer f′(x) = 2x·sin(x) + x²·cos(x)
-
Spot the product
u = x², v = sin(x)
Two functions multiplied together, so use the product rule: (uv)′ = u′v + uv′.
-
Differentiate x²
u′ = 2x
Power rule: bring the 2 down, lower the power by one.
-
Differentiate sin(x)
v′ = cos(x)
Common mistake: sin(x) becomes cos(x), with no minus sign. The minus belongs to the derivative of cos(x).
-
Put it together
f′(x) = 2x·sin(x) + x²·cos(x)
Substitute u′, v, u and v′ into u′v + uv′.

Common questions
What is math.im?
math.im is an AI math tutor that solves problems step-by-step. Type or snap a math problem and get clear microsteps, one meaningful change per step, plus three similar practice problems to lock in the concept.
Is math.im free?
Yes. The free plan gives you 1 solve per day with no signup required, and math.im Pro (unlimited solves and practice) is free while the product is in beta.
Can math.im solve a problem from a photo?
Yes. Snap a photo of a handwritten or printed math problem and the solver will recognize it, ask you to confirm the recognized problem, and then walk you through the solution in microsteps.
What kinds of math does math.im handle?
Arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, and competition math. The blog has long-form explainers for SAT, ACT, AMC, A-Level, JEE, and IB topics.
Does math.im show its work or just the answer?
Every solution is broken into microsteps with one meaningful change per step. Each step has a short explanation, a longer explanation on demand, a hint, and a common-mistake callout, so you actually learn, not just copy.
