Bing update is a perfect match between math and photography

As of this week, Bing can win many fans in Brazil: the new update of the Microsoft search engine added the so-called "math mode", which allows solving any mathematical problem in a matter of seconds.The new mode uses Bing's intelligent image search not only to recognize mathematical equations in a photo, but also to provide a step-by-step resolution of the equations. According to journalist Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Land, the system works not only for simple addition or subtraction operations but also for more complex algebraic calculations.As you can see in the video, the app not only gives the answer to the problem but also shows the step-by-step solution, the graphical representation of the result and the Bing results for the photographed equation.
The system works well even with more complex equations, as in the case of this equation of second degree.In addition to math mode, the new Bing update also adds a button to search for specific words within a page, as well as bug fixes that are customary. For the time being, this update is available only for iOS devices and there is no forecast when it will go out for Android.
