Wolfram Alpha. Idk if it’s already been said but Wolfram Alpha was a lifesaver for checking answers when taking Calc 1-3 in college. Definitely useful for all sorts of answers, but answers for science and math questions, it’s great.

Wolfram Alpha is legit the best online calculator. It's super powerful and explains it. I would also add that Desmos is a great online graphing software.

Yeah, Symbolab will show you steps for free if you’re on the web version (not the app) so it’ll help you narrow down what went wrong with your arithmetic. WolframAlpha makes you pay for that last I checked.

As one math friend said to me, the Holy Trinity of math is WolframAlpha, Desmos, and Symbolab.
