Company profile
researched Aug 2026MataMATH (AIλ§νμν) is an AI-based math courseware platform for schools, operated by MATAEDU Inc. from Seoul, South Korea. The product organizes content to follow the unit order of the textbook publishers used by each school and reflects Korea's 2022 revised national curriculum, covering elementary, middle and high school as well as university-level mathematics. Teachers can search curated worksheets, assemble curricula and lesson-by-lesson modules, bundle multiple materials into a single session, and copy, edit and redistribute worksheets across later classes and semesters.
Classroom operation features include level-based student group management with differentiated assignment distribution, a live class board showing progress, correct/incorrect answers and solving time, an electronic scratchpad for both students and teachers, and an in-class question-and-answer channel. On the student side, submitted work is analyzed by AI against cumulative learning records and solving patterns to generate individualized worksheets; a "concept reinforcement" mode supplies core problems from earlier grades or school levels to fill prerequisite gaps, and a self-directed learning module combines an AI-recommended learning-area map with review sheets built from incorrect or bookmarked problems.
The company behind the service was founded as Vitruv, a startup established in September 2013 by CEO Oh Tae-hyung, who studied financial mathematics at Seoul National University, together with four classmates from Hansung Science High School and Seoul National University.
