## Backstory

The unprecedented coronavirus pandemic has significantly affected education and teaching all over the world. With schools shifting to remote learning, there is a sudden demand for software solutions to assist in this difficult transition.

Being a student myself, I have noticed the difficulty in explaining mathematical concepts over the Internet as opposed to face-to-face. Thus, with this in mind, I have developed DAS to support the learning of mathematics online.

{% hint style="info" %}
*The name DAS was inspired by my calculator, TI-nspire CX CAS, where CAS stands for computer algebra system.*

## Mission

The Discord Algebra System (DAS) is a Discord bot with the purpose of providing the capabilities of displaying, solving, deriving, integrating and graphing equations in a quick and accurate manner to assist in the learning of mathematical studies directly inside a Discord server to the great benefit of students, teachers and tutors.&#x20;

From the comfort of users' own private servers, they will be able to visually represent calculations within a popular social media platform without the hassle of opening up other applications or taking screenshots of physical material.

## Features

* Display math text (or render TeX) as an image
* Graph equations (polynomials, trig functions and conic sections)
* Solve equations (both real and complex solutions)
* Derive and integrate equations
* Factor, expand and simplify expressions
* Basic calculator functions (e.g. add, divide, etc.)
