Google has introduced new updates to Search and Lens to help learners solve math and science problems. The new updates will provide step-by-step solutions and explanations, making it easier for users to solve complex math and science problems.
“It can feel frustrating when you are trying to solve a math problem and aren’t quite sure what the next step should be. Now, when you look up the problem on Search, you will be able to get even more help on subjects like trigonometry and calculus,” the tech giant said in a blogpost on October 30.

Also, you can now get help with word problems, starting with many fundamental topics from high-school physics. This experience will help you to identify the known and unknown values and understand which formulas to use and when.
When solving geometry problems that are difficult to describe with words, like finding the area of a triangle with a diagram and side measurements, you can use Lens. Lens can interpret both the visual and text aspects of the problem and provide step-by-step solutions, making it easier to get help without needing to describe it in words.
To master STEM subjects and foster curiosity, it’s important to develop a deep visual understanding. For instance, you might know about mitochondria but struggle to picture its inner structures like cristae and matrix. With 3D models on Search, you can now explore interactive diagrams with definitions and overviews for around 1,000 topics in biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy and more.
