1. Equation Search & Beyond

2. Equation Search Today The Challenge Symbolab Scientific Search Scholar Search The Future of Search Online Education Knowledge Is Power

3. Equation Search Today

4. Equation Search In a Nutshell Scientific content Encyclopedias, academic papers, courses, patents, forums, … Scientific language Equations, formulas, mathematical expressions Symbols & notations Use of scientific symbols & notations Search science with science

5. Google Plot Great plot, but what are you really looking for?

6. …and Search? Irrelevant results

7. Bing Search… How is this related exactly?

8. Wolfram Computational Engine Wikipedia like computation knowledge

9. LaTex Search How come (x+y)^n does work but (y+x)^n doesn’t?

10. Can Keyword Search Work?

11. The Challeng e

12. The Problem: Scientific Search Today Keyword search No support for scientific notations LaTex is no fun Heuristic approach Poor relevancy Computational emphasis

13. The Challenge: The Scientific Language Flexible grammar & vocabulary Order matters Priority of features Disambiguation within and across disciplines

14. The Solution: Semantic Search Machine learning algorithms Scientific expression matching Contextual scientific analysis Relevancy

30. Online Educatio n

31. Equation Search - Why Now Growing demand Digitalization of libraries More content is now publically available Emphasis on STEM Online education

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

33. 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

35. 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”

36. 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

37. Knowledge is power, by enabling equation search we empower students, teachers, parents and researches, we empower us
