HANDWRITTEN MATHEMATICAL EQUATION SOLVER

Abstract

With recent developments in Artificial intelligence and deep learning every major field which is using computers for any type of work is trying to ease the work using deep learning methods. Deep learning is used in a wide range of fields due to its diverse range of applications like health, sports, robotics, education, etc. In deep learning, a Convolutional neural network (CNN) is being used in image classification, pattern recognition, Text classification, face recognition, live monitoring systems, handwriting recognition, Digit recognition, etc. In this paper, we propose a system for educational use where the recognition and solving process of mathematical equations will be done by machine. In this system for recognition of equations, we use a Convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The proposed system can recognize and solve mathematical equations with basic operations (-,+,/,*) of multiple digits as well as polynomial equations. The model is trained with Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset as well as a manually prepared dataset of operator symbols (“-”,”+”, “/”, “*”, “(“, “)” ). Further, the system uses the RNN model to solve the recognized operations.
