Calculator Will Allow Students to Access Real-Time Explanations for
Math Questions
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (NYSE: BNED), a
leading solutions provider for the education industry, today
announced an agreement with Wolfram|Alpha to develop a math solver
as a new feature in the Company’s bartleby suite of homework help
and learning solutions. Powered by Wolfram|Alpha’s best-in-class
computation engine, the math solver will allow students to access
an interactive digital calculator that provides real-time,
step-by-step explanations for even the most advanced math
problems.
“As our rapidly growing bartleby suite of digital services
continues to gain market acceptance in its mission of helping
students learn anywhere and at any time, it is very clear that math
is the subject where students require a significant amount of
learning support,” said Michael P. Huseby, CEO and Chairman, BNED.
“Working with Wolfram Alpha to develop a math solver is a natural
expansion of our learning ecosystem, combining Wolfram’s
computational knowledge and academic credibility with bartleby’s
high-value learning solutions. Importantly, it will ensure that
bartleby continues to grow with the students it serves, adding
functionality that can meet the urgent demand to even better
support students in this subject area.”
As the creators of Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, Wolfram has
long been a trusted name in education, providing highly
sophisticated technical computing solutions to thousands of
colleges and universities globally. Leveraging Wolfram|Alpha’s
broad knowledge base and demonstrated expertise in solving advanced
math problems, the math solver will allow students to input their
equations on the bartleby mobile or web platform and receive a
detailed explanation in real-time, helping students to understand
how to solve the problem on their own. Coupled with the existing
step-by-step solution database and expert Q&A already
accessible through bartleby, math solver will ensure that – no
matter the question – bartleby can provide students with the help
they need.
Wolfram Business Development Executive Tom Mayo said, "We are
excited to be working with BNED, and to help provide bartleby users
with world-class solutions that enable students to study
mathematics, chemistry, physics and other curriculums in which
Wolfram is a leader. We are certain that bartleby powered by
Wolfram will be a game-changer in the homework help space."
“We are thrilled to work with Wolfram Alpha to develop this new
tool,” Mr. Huseby continued. “Our companies share a deep history of
serving colleges and universities, and Wolfram’s focus on learning
will ensure that we are growing the bartleby ecosystem with
solutions that help students to develop the knowledge and
understanding they need as they move from classrooms to
careers.”
