Math Helper
Your AI study partner for business mathematics
What is this?
The Math Companion is an AI chatbot designed to help you learn by thinking, not by copying answers. When you ask a question, it will guide you through the problem step by step, asking follow-up questions, giving hints, and helping you arrive at the solution yourself.
You may have noticed the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the website. That chatbot answers your questions more directly. The Learning Companion below takes a different approach: it acts as a study partner that challenges your thinking and helps you build deeper understanding.
What can it do?
Guide your thinking
Stuck on a problem? Describe what you’re working on and what you’ve tried. The companion will ask follow-up questions and give you hints, just enough to get you unstuck, without giving away the answer.
Generate practice tasks
Need extra exercises? Just say “practice tasks” and tell the companion which topic you want to work on. It will create fresh tasks based on the style and content of the course. You can request solutions afterwards.
How to get the most out of it
- Describe what you’re working on — share the specific problem or concept you’re stuck on.
- Explain what you’ve tried so far — the more context you give, the better the hints you’ll receive.
- Engage with the questions it asks — the follow-up questions are designed to guide your reasoning, so take a moment to think about them before responding.
- Don’t expect ready-made solutions — the goal is for you to understand why the solution works, not just what it is.
This chatbot is especially useful when preparing for exams or deepening your understanding. Ask it to generate practice tasks on any topic from the course, for example, “Give me practice tasks on interest calculation”, and work through them at your own pace. If you get stuck, the companion will help you think through it.
