Social proof
What students say about FastSolve
FastSolve works across Knewton and every major LMS. These are verbatim reviews from its Chrome Web Store listing.
“I've been using FastSolve Chrome Extension for a bit now and honestly it's super fast and really easy to use. You literally just double click a question and it gives you an answer almost instantly, which is kinda crazy. It works on a lot of different types of questions too, not just multiple choice. What I like most is how lightweight it is; it doesn't slow down my browser at all and everything feels smooth. The answers are usually accurate and helpful, especially when I'm stuck or just need a quick explanation.”

FAQ
FastSolve on Knewton: FAQ
Yes. Alta is often deep-linked from Canvas, Blackboard, or D2L via LTI. FastSolve detects the Alta player whether it loads in an iframe inside the host LMS or as a standalone tab. Adaptive learning paths and just-in-time skill checks all work the same way.
Yes. Alta uses MathQuill for math input — the same editor used by Learnosity. FastSolve renders the answer in LaTeX and types it into the editor field by field, handling fractions, exponents, integrals, and matrix notation correctly.
Yes. Alta's adaptive review path branches based on your answers — FastSolve solves whichever specific problem instance the system serves you, not a generic version. Just-in-time skill checks (the small reviews that pop up before a new topic) are handled the same way.
No. Alta tracks problem attempts, time-on-problem, and hint usage — not browser-extension input. FastSolve writes the answer the way the MathQuill editor would receive normal keystrokes. The Alta analytics dashboard shows a clean attempt with no extension fingerprint.
Yes. Knewton Alta covers college algebra through calculus, business statistics, intro chemistry, and microeconomics — FastSolve handles each subject with the same accuracy as on standalone problems. Multi-step reasoning routes to Claude or GPT-4o for harder problems.
Materially faster, because Mathway requires you to retype the problem into Mathway's editor and copy the answer back into Alta — which takes 30+ seconds per problem and loses Alta's context. FastSolve solves Alta in place in under 2 seconds with no retyping.
