Calculus E-learning Tutor
Description
With the rise of online learning and interest in STEM education, the clients found a gap in an e-learning software product that would guide students the same way their teachers or professors would and help in their calculus learning journey. Our clients, mathematicians from one of the top universities in the USA, reached out to us to help them in developing a state-of-the-art math learning platform.
The mathematicians had already created the core mathematical formula processing engine when we were contacted. Our role was to handle the user interface that allows calculus learners to input and work with these formulas. One of our main tasks was to develop the tools for writing and editing mathematical formulas. We were also requested to handle the development of the business logic for the learning management system, integration of the software with various systems, and the logic for managing tasks such as assigning homework to students and providing step-by-step solutions.
Challenge
The first challenge was to create an easy-to-use interface for students to work with mathematical formulas and enter solutions.
The second challenge was that the formula language is context-dependent, requiring us to understand each meaning depending on the context and convey the correct meaning to the formula processing engine. The ultimate goal was to achieve a web interface where users could enter formulas into an editor and immediately get them checked for accuracy. Later these solutions were automatically converted into a structured (context-free) language that the core math formula engine could process.
Solution
As a result of our successful cooperation, the online active learning platform for math was developed. Our software engineers designed the math formula editor incorporating it with various systems that were developed by the mathematicians affiliated with the universities in the USA. The system could assign homework, check the results, assess progress, and provide valuable feedback to students to help them in their calculus learning journey.
We also successfully developed the business logic for the software and integrated it with the systems of universities so that the solution can be used in the educational process.
The collaboration has been ongoing since 2013. The average number of developers has shifted over the years.
