Microsoft Math Solver (formerly Microsoft Mathematics and Microsoft Math) was an entry-level educational app that solved math and science problems. Developed and maintained by Microsoft, it was primarily targeted at students as a learning tool. Until 2015, it ran on Microsoft Windows. Since then, it has been developed for the web platform and mobile devices.

Microsoft Math was originally released as a bundled part of Microsoft Student. It was then available as a standalone paid version starting with version 3.0. For version 4.0, it was released as a free downloadable product[1] and was called Microsoft Mathematics 4.0. It is no longer in active development and has been removed from the Microsoft website.[2] A related freeware add-in, called "Microsoft Mathematics Add-In for Word and OneNote," was also available from Microsoft and offered comparable functionality (Word 2007 or higher is required).[3][4]

Microsoft Math received the 2008 Award of Excellence from Tech & Learning Magazine.[5]

Microsoft Math was retired on July 7, 2025.[6]

Features

Microsoft Math contained features that are designed to assist in solving mathematics, science, and tech-related problems, as well as to educate the user. The application featured such tools as a graphing calculator and a unit converter. It also included a triangle solver and an equation solver that provides step-by-step solutions to each problem.
