The Problem: Scientific Search Today
• Keyword search• No support for scientific notations• LaTex is no fun• Heuristic approach• Poor relevancy• Computational emphasis
![Page 13: Equation Search & Beyond. Equation Search Today The Challenge Symbolab Scientific Search Scholar Search The Future of Search Online Education Knowledge](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af200e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Challenge: The Scientific Language
• Flexible grammar & vocabulary• Order matters• Priority of features• Disambiguation within and across disciplines
![Page 14: Equation Search & Beyond. Equation Search Today The Challenge Symbolab Scientific Search Scholar Search The Future of Search Online Education Knowledge](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e055503460f94af200e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Solution: Semantic Search
• Machine learning algorithms• Scientific expression matching• Contextual scientific analysis• Relevancy

Online Education
• Limited access to on-campus classesaccess for students who would otherwise be unable to afford or attend collegeBudget cuts have resulted in fewer instructors and oversubscribed classes
• Lack of customized programsstudents can learn at the pace that’s right for them
• Restricted innovation in course contentdrive new, hybrid learning methods create innovative content

Online Education Stats
• 30% of higher-education students in the U.S taking at least one class online )6.2 mm students), expected to rise to 37% by 2015
• U.S. average per online pupil expenditures is $6,400, per traditional pupil expenditures is $10,000

Knowledge Is Power
• Can Symbolab hurt children’s ability to solve math problems?
• Should children struggle with hard problems over days?
• Children are curious by nature, they want to learn, but they want to learn their way
• Symbolab opens a window to the science content• Help people overcome the barrier of the
“scientific language”

Fear Of Math
• 60% of university students suffer from math anxiety• Overcome math anxiety by:
Accommodating for different learning styles Making math relevant Allowing for different social approaches to learning
mathematics Emphasizing the importance of original, quality thinking
rather than rote manipulation of formulas
