What’s Goodnotes AI for Math?

Goodnotes AI for Math is an AI-powered learning assistant that leverages Wolfram|Alpha LLM API to provide personalized math support in Goodnotes.

Goodnotes AI for Math consists of two main components:

  • Solve: Provides comprehensive, detailed solutions with complete breakdowns of each solving step.
  • Teach Me: Offers guided assistance focused on understanding concepts and building problem-solving skills.

Input Math Problems

Goodnotes AI offers several ways to input problems and learn math:

  • Write math problems by hand.

  • Type equations and formulas using LaTeX in Goodnotes AI, along with any solving instructions you need.

    Tip: LaTeX is a mathematical markup language that allows you to write complex mathematical equations and formulas using plain text. It uses special commands and syntax to format mathematical expressions in a professional and precise way. For example, using LaTeX notation you can write equations like x^2 + y^2 = r^2 or \frac{dx}{dy} to get $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ or $\frac{dx}{dy}$. Learn more about LaTeX.

  • Import a PDF, e.g. a worksheet, that contains math problems.

Get Step-by-Step Solutions to a Math Problem

  1. Use the lasso tool to select the problem.
  2. Choose the Goodnotes AI icon from the Object Menu (or from the Nav Bar).

  3. Choose Solve, or type your request, like “How do I solve this?”
     

     

  4. (Optional) Choose the Edit icon next to each detected equation to correct it in LaTeX
