#7Great idea, really surprised Wolfram alpha hasn't done some OCR problem solving. Any ideas what solver is powered by and how good it is (or any other open source ones out there)? I only know of SymPy.

When I was at school I had one of these:

And got in trouble for writing programs in OPL to solve math problems.
I reckon I deserved extra credit for initiative. The experience of learning to program has certainly turned out to be ultimately more useful than learning to do math without a calculator.
(Not that I think that learning to do math without a calculator is useless, mind you.)
