content: This is a boon for students without math savvy parents, doing their homework. Absent a teacher to help them solve a specific problem they can be shown by an app how to work the specifics.  The news isn't really that the app can spit out an answer, the textbook often provides them, it's that it can show the steps to the answer. Allowing for better and more systematized learning. I don't think people will use this as a short cut to the answer since you can't bring it with you on tests. More as a substitute teacher.
