Handwritten Mathematical Expression Solver using CNN

Abstract

Abstract: Mathematics is the universal language. It is the core of all the scientific discoveries and is used extensively in all possible fields. Hence, there arises the need for fast computation and instant results. This has led to the development of various technologies and machines which would ease the strain on humans and also reduce the error and delays caused by them. Our project caters to these needs by reducing the effort on user side. We want to make the experience of experimenting with equations as simple as possible. The application is capable of performing fast calculations on human handwritten mathematical expressions. Basic calculations like arithmetic and trigonometric functions can be done along with simultaneous equations. The expression is extracted from the image and each character, symbol and number is recognised and then the entire expression is further being solved displaying all possible solutions. The application developed is simple and user-friendly tool that can leverage the power of existing powerful math packages.
