New Delhi: If you are a school student, struggling to get rid of a math problem in middle of the night, the solution would now be just a click away as Internet-based education major Educomp Solutions Limited has introduced an innovative math-help programme through Mathguru.com to help students solve every single math problem as per their curriculum on an anytime anywhere basis.

Students fromClass 8 to 10 following the NCERT math curriculum in the CBSE, ICSE and other boards would have to pay a monthly subscription fee of Rs 100 for Mathguru, which will enable students understand the fundamental concepts of the subject rather than just providing solutions to questions, and they will be provided passwords to use the portal

"We are targeting 200 private schools in 27 cities across the country and expect about 75,000 students in this academic year on the back of Mathguru. In 2007-08, the company aims at adding another 2,00,000 subscribers,” Educomp Solutions Managing Director Shantanu Prakash said.

Besides schools, private tutorial houses can also subscribe to the novel Web site, he said, adding that the company was eyeing a subscription revenue of Rs 7 crore
