Hypatia Systems

What Hypatia Systems does

Hypatia Systems Inc. is a privately held, US-incorporated software company that builds math-specific tools embedded directly inside Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, plus a standalone assessment platform. Its three products are Hypatia Create (a math equation editor add-on for Google Docs/Slides/Forms and Microsoft Word/PowerPoint with accessibility, annotation, and coloring features), Hypatia Geometry (a Google Docs/Slides add-on for editable classroom-ready geometry diagrams), and Hypatia Teach (an LMS-independent assignment and assessment platform with an auto-grading engine that reads student math, awards step-level partial credit, and maps student performance to core competencies).

The company's core technology is a math-aware engine that interprets mathematical expressions, recognizes equivalent solution paths, and provides targeted real-time feedback and hints. Hypatia Teach processes solution steps as structured data to surface each student's particular strengths through formative assessment. The platform is HIPAA-compliant for the Teach product and supports SSO via Google, Microsoft, and Facebook. Co-founders Ladislav Stacho (CEO, Professor of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University), Arvind Gupta (Chairman, Professor at University of Toronto), and Jan Manuch (CTO, PhD in Mathematics) anchor the engineering capability in academic math/CS expertise.

Hypatia makes money through annual subscription licenses distributed via the Google Workspace Marketplace and Microsoft AppSource. Pricing for Hypatia Create is $15/year for individuals, $40/year per 50 users for groups, and custom quotes starting at $0.80/user/year for site licenses of 100+ users; Hypatia Teach is $100/teacher/year including 2,000 monthly answer credits, with credits stacked by adding additional licenses. Primary users are Grade 7–12 teachers and students, with secondary expansion into university/college introductory math and into district/school deployments. Cumulative usage of Hypatia Create inside Google Workspace and Microsoft Office exceeded 10 million users within less than a year of launch. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed.

Core offering

Hypatia Systems develops and sells a suite of math education software products — Hypatia Create (a math editor add-on for Google Workspace and Microsoft Office), Hypatia Geometry (a geometry diagram creation tool), and Hypatia Teach (an automated assignment and grading platform). The products enable teachers to create digital math assignments, auto-grade show-your-work problems with partial credit, and provide students with real-time feedback on typed mathematical expressions, all integrated natively into the productivity tools educators already use.

Product overview

Hypatia Systems offers a suite of three interconnected products for math education. Hypatia Create is the core math editor add-on available for both Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, Forms) and Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint), enabling teachers and students to type professional mathematical expressions. Hypatia Geometry is a specialized add-on for creating geometry diagrams directly in Google Docs and Slides, working alongside Hypatia Create. Hypatia Teach is the automated assignment and assessment platform that leverages Hypatia Create for input but adds intelligent grading, real-time feedback, and analytics—making it the platform's primary value proposition for schools. All three products are available through Google Workspace and Microsoft Office marketplaces, with single sign-on support for Google, Microsoft, and Facebook accounts.
