Equation-to-Text Converter

344 Views Asked by At

I was just thinking today... I was reading a book called "Forecasting: Principles and Practice", and found myself reading mostly the theoretical paragraphs, and skipping most of the mathematical equations due to lack of time (and also a bit of laziness).

I had an idea.

What if the equations could somehow be converted into text?

I mean readable, English text - so that instead of having to pause on every equation and spending a lot of time to understand it, one could simply read it as a paragraph, e.g. "Add together p(t) and q(t), and divide it by x. Then take f(...) over (...) and finally do (...) to get y".

It may make it easier to understand!

I know I'm not being very precise with my example, but does anyone know of a tool like this so that people new to a topic or having a hard time understanding an equation can get some help?

Thanks!
