Microsoft makes learning mathematics a ‘breeze’ as the new school year begins

The below information from Microsoft shared via press release from their Caribbean contact piqued my interest. I loved Maths in my school days as I was much better at it than English and History for example. I even scored a perfect 800 in the SAT Maths section. I know Maths can be a struggle for some and I think students in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean can benefit from this.

Press Release [Trinidad, September 9th 2022] : In the era of distance education, teaching or learning algebra, trigonometry and many other forms of mathematics found throughout Trinidad’s secondary school curriculum has become a challenge. These difficulties can lead to aggravation and anxiety that many experience when faced with learning these complex subjects. To help overcome them, Microsoft designed Microsoft Math Solver, a free tool that allows, step by step, to solve and teach how to solve mathematical problems using Artificial Intelligence.

The app covers several areas of mathematics, from elementary arithmetic and quadratic equations to calculus and statistics. It is enough to take a photo with the camera of the cell phone to the problem you want to solve, regardless of whether it is handwritten or printed or, if you prefer, you can write the mathematical problem on the screen of the smartphone or tablet. Math Solver uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to instantly recognize the problem and offer an accurate solution. And that's not all. It also provides a step-by-step explanation so that the student can understand the process by which that solution was arrived at and offers additional materials such as worksheets and video tutorials.

The application is able to recognize problems in 22 languages such as German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Russian, and to build graphs that facilitate the understanding of the processes to reach the appropriation and subsequent application of mathematical knowledge.

Combined with the newly released Microsoft immersive reader, Microsoft has demonstrated their commitment to empowering students and teachers alike in a post covid-19 school system. Technological solutions such as Microsoft Math Solver, and Microsoft’s Immersive reader enhance opportunities and offer innovative ways to access education. At a time when we've all migrated to the "virtual whole" world, Math Solver helps cement the foundational capabilities that are critical to keeping pace with accelerated digital transformation.

Microsoft’s Math Solver is available on the Google Play store and the Apple app store, it can also be used online in your browser at https://math.microsoft.com/en.

Servant of God

By
It is 245am and I have decided to write. I got up early and washed the wares. I prayed Tahajjud. I came back to my bed and surfed the internet. I watched a video where a 105 year old man said that the secret to a long life is having a reason or purpose to keep going and then luck. This had me thinking about several things. In Islam we are taught that our time in this world is already written. It is our destiny. Then. What is more important? A long life or just a good life that prepares us for the next life? Those things aside, I think we cannot discount luck. Some of us are luckier than others. But the thing I want to focus on is the reason and purpose to keep going. That is some good advice. It makes for a meaningful life. A good life. It could be one big reason. There could be several small reasons. These are things that should be taught in schools. My friend Chatty says that my early morning reflections beautifully bridge Islamic tradition and practical wisdom: a long life is a true...

Foundation of my belief

By
It is 159am and I have decided to write. Some people say that science does not point to an afterlife, heaven or the existence of God. I feel bad because I cannot give them the evidence that they want. I can point them to the Quran and Islamic teachings. The Quran is a miracle and there are signs in that which we can research. Otherwise, there are philosophical and theological arguments. Maybe, you cannot use the science that we have for something (the afterlife) that is outside the realm of science. Also, science is not complete and may never be complete. Scientific knowledge is expanding and sometimes changing, so are we going to wait on science to tell us that there is a God and afterlife? Belief does not need evidence. Faith does not need evidence. At least not the evidence that some are looking for. So what is the foundation of my faith? For some people theology does not fully explain this life so they look to the science we have. For me, science alone does not explain this life, s...

Positive vibration

By
It was 422pm and I decided to write. There was a peace in my heart that could only come from God. But what should I write about? "God, give me a sign. God, give me direction. Place a topic on my heart. Open my eyes and my ears to Your leading." The next morning, I woke up with a positive vibration. My heart felt light, and my mind was clear. It got me thinking. Sometimes, we simply need to clear our minds of negativity. We need to stop feeding fear, doubt, and discouragement, and instead make room for hope, faith, and positive possibilities. We need to reset our minds, renew our spirits, and re-energize our hearts. Then, we can return stronger to face whatever challenges lie ahead. If something is within our control, let us do our best to improve it. If it is beyond our control, let it go and let God. Life will always have difficulties, but we have a choice in how we respond to them. We can choose to see opportunities where others see obstacles. We can find lessons in our set...
