Washington: If you are horrified by doing maths, you can install an application that will help you quickly and accurately get over with your calculations. The application is called PhotoMath, "the world's first camera calculator" which is a free mobile app that can read and solve maths problems.

Using the smartphone's camera, take a picture of a printed equation and watch the app solve the problem in real time by clicking through problem-solving steps, media reports said.

The app, developed by London-based firm MicroBlink, can be downloaded from Apple's iStore. The app is optimized to be used for iPhone and iPod.
