Description:
You can enter that tricky equation for help on desktop or upload a picture of 
your homework via Google Lens.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google is updating its search engine and Lens tool with new features to help 
students visualize and solve tricky math problems. 

Were not talking about basic arithmetic either. The upgraded Google Search 
can now tackle more complex forms of math like calculus and trigonometry. All 
you have to do is type in the equation or integral into the text bar at the 
top or take a picture of your homework with Lens. Youll then see a series of 
step-by-step instructions explaining how to solve it with the answer at the 
bottom. Geometry is also supported with the company recommending people use 
Google Lens to solve those since they can have diagrams. You wont be able to 
draw shapes into the search bar so uploading a photo of the equation is your 
best bet. (Image credit: Google) 

Additionally, you can type in word problems for physics questions. Google 
Search will highlight the known and unknown values and then show you the 
correct formula to use for that particular equation. As an example, if you 
need to find out the average acceleration of a cyclist going down a hill, 
itll tell you the specific kinetic formula needed. (Image credit: Google) 

The math update is currently live on desktop and the mobile app. Google 
states you can type the phrase math solver in the search bar to try out their 
new experience on desktop. However, when we did, nothing popped up. It's 
possible this could be referring to future expansion, but we're not sure. 
Either way, feel free to directly type the math problem into the search bar. 
You dont need to bring up anything else. Advancement in science 

Alongside the mathematics help, Google is rolling out interactive 3D models 
for certain fields of science such as physics, biology, and chemistry. The 
diagrams will let you zoom into an object as well as provide definitions of 
what youre looking at. 

At the time of this writing, the patch doesnt appear to be widely available. 
We saw interactive 3D models for basic concepts like individual parts of a 
cell and periodic elements, but nothing for specific types of cells or 
molecules. You can look up a model for an oxygen atom, but not a carbon 
dioxide molecule for instance. Whats more, nothing had a definition. It was 
just the model. 

We reached out to Google asking if this patch is seeing a global release or 
will only be available in a few countries like the United States. Well update 
this story if we hear back. 

Undoubtedly, this will help students advance in their courses. But don't 
forget about the hardware. If you're in the market for a computer, be sure to
