Problem Recap

● Math is hard

● Inputting on WolframAlpha, Piazza is tedious

● Calculators, laptops are usually required

Meet Cady HeronCady is a high school student in Evanston. After being

homeschooled in Africa for the last 12 years, she decided to

partake in various extracurricular activities in order to meet

new people and to make friends. Unfortunately, all these

extracurriculars take away her time to study for her Calculus

course. Her grades have been dropping and she is searching

for a tool to help her with the class.

Cady HeronThink -Wants a faster way to learn the

material

See -Many difficult math problems she doesn’t understand

Feel -Frustrated, embarrassed, and pressed for time

Do -Looking for resources to speed up learning

Use Case #1As a student taking Math 115, I want to quickly obtain
