Question 1

Do I need to know LaTeX to use TypeMaths?

Accepted Answer

No. Type sqrt, int, pi or theta and they typeset themselves as you go, and "/" builds a fraction. If you do know LaTeX, every command still works — type a backslash and keep going.

Question 2

Does TypeMaths solve equations for me?

Accepted Answer

No, and that is deliberate. TypeMaths types your working, not your answers: you write each step, and it keeps the maths typeset and the equals signs aligned. When a line reduces to arithmetic, press Cmd or Ctrl plus Enter and it evaluates that line and writes the result underneath.

Question 3

Is TypeMaths free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can open a worksheet and start typing without an account — your work saves in your browser as you type. Make a free account and it syncs across your devices instead.

Question 4

Can I use TypeMaths on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tapping a box opens a maths keyboard with its own Evaluate button, and a tools drawer for inserting matrices, adding text lines, and deleting rows or columns.

Question 5

Can I get my working into Word, Google Docs or Overleaf?

Accepted Answer

Export the page as a .tex file, or copy it to your clipboard as LaTeX and paste it into an existing document. Screenshot mode renders the worksheet as clean black-on-white typesetting to paste in as an image.

Question 6

Does it handle chemistry and physics, not just maths?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reaction arrows and equilibrium arrows sit in the same relation menu as = and ≤, so a balanced equation lines up like any other working. Physics rearrangements evaluate with your choice of angle unit and decimal places.
