    (x+y) is equivalent to (y+x): launching mathematical expressions checking

    Several of our classes involve students using mathematical expressions, but there was no way for us to automatically check this work. The stated solution to a problem may be x+y, but if a student answers y+x, our system needs to understand that this is also correct. This equivalence should not be limited to simply associativity…
