Got nerd sniped again...lol. Not a horrible problem and there's two ways to solve it.
#math #nerdsnipe

Given "3 sine theta plus 4 cosine theta equals 5", solve for the tangent of theta.

Retired School Teachers and Students: Be aware when traveling to the USA
#Math #Travel

The image is a screenshot of a news article with a headline that reads "Retired School Teachers and Students: Be aware when traveling to the USA." The article discusses the arrest of a schoolteacher at JFK International Airport for attempting to board a flight with items that were claimed to be educational tools, including a ruler, protractor, compass, slide-rule, and abacus. The Attorney General is quoted as saying the individual is a member of the Al-Gebra movement, which he believes is a thr…

Opened up YouTube, got nerd sniped with a math problem. After a bad morning, it was the perfect thing to take a break working on. Still haven't watched the actual video, just the thumbnail...will do that once I get off of work to see if we got to the answer the same way (well, the proof that is). #math

The problem is: given 3 does not divide "a" and 3 does not divide "b", prove that 9 divides "a^6 - b^6"

Another nerd snipe for today: solve the definite integral from 0 to pi for the sine of 2x times the cosine of x dx. This one took a minute for me, but got the answer two different ways. Still a nice way to exercise integration techniques and trig identities.

Neuer Blog-Post (zusammen mit @…) zum Thema KI für Mathe Forschung.
tldr; Ich beobachte und probiere, hatte aber noch keine Erfolgserlebnisse. Mathematiker*innen sollten aber nicht wegsehen sondern mitgestalten. Und die Werbung der KI-Firmen nicht glauben.

A friend (who is also a mathematician) sent us feedback that this text is maybe too optimistic and contributes to the general public trusting LLMs to do math. If that is read in there, I have done a terrible job writing it. So let me quote the core of my answer:
On the societal level it is a disaster. Look what it has done to education already and it will not stop there. I think math research as we know it is in big danger.

"AI will exacerbate the existing problems of scientific publishing, and the options for cheating will multiply. It remains to be seen whether the scientific community has the resources necessary to counteract this."

I'm continuing to explore the "#LLMs for everything" paradigm that is forced upon us by ... err why exactly?
I often hear that students should be "smart" about their #LLM usage and not have the LLM produce the solutions but use it as a tutor. I may have even said that myself 2 years ago, but hey, we are all learning. So I tried AI tutoring and it was not great.
First thoughts on the #math perspective are documented in this new blog post:
