Maths solver that shows worked steps across algebra, calculus and more
Mathway solves maths problems across arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus and statistics, accepting either typed input or a photo of the problem. Its distinguishing feature is the worked solution: rather than an answer alone it returns the sequence of steps that leads there, which is what makes it useful for checking homework and rebuilding a method you have half-forgotten. Coverage is broad rather than deep, so unusual notation or multi-part word problems can defeat the parser. The free tier shows answers and a limited view of the working; the paid tier opens the full step-by-step explanations.

Both, within limits. The free tier shows the answer and part of the method, while full step-by-step explanations come with the paid tier. For revision the steps are the part that matters.
It copes well with clearly printed expressions. Handwriting and unusual notation are the weak points, so always compare the expression it parsed with the one you photographed before trusting the result.
No. Using a solver in an assessment generally breaches academic integrity rules and many institutions treat it as misconduct. Use it to practise and to check work afterwards.
