In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics. Let’s Not Be So Quick to Give Up on Algebra.

But while ChatGPT is a remarkable achievement in automating the doing of major human-like things, not everything that’s useful to do is quite so “human like”. And one area where ChatGPT—like humans—often tends to struggle is math. Some of it is instead more formal and structured. A Basic Example.

Even after everything our civilization has achieved, we’re just at the very, very beginning of exploring rulial space. The big achievements of AI in recent times have been about making systems that are closely aligned with us humans. Much like now most of nature doesn’t seem like it’s “achieving a purpose”. But what about AIs?

The whole process of “prompt engineering” feels a bit like animal wrangling: you’re trying to get ChatGPT to do what you want, but it’s hard to know just what it will take to achieve that. In the past, one might have tried to achieve this “by hand” by starting with “boilerplate” pieces, then modifying them, “gluing” them together, etc.

The most problematic strategy that many students try instead, he argues, is what he calls “mimicking,” which he has especially found in the math classes he studies. These are the students who end up hitting a wall when math courses move from easier algebra to more advanced concepts in, say, calculus, he argues.

During the pandemic, anxieties about math instruction have grown. Fueling them is the most recent results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which showed historical losses in math education.

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. When you do operations on Around numbers the “errors” are combined using a certain calculus of errors that’s effectively based on Gaussian distributions—and the results you get are always in some sense statistical.
