Artificial Intelligence in Teaching Mathematics to Technical University Students

Abstract

In light of the active proliferation of AI and its integration into all areas of our lives, the academic year 2023–2024 posed the most pressing question to educational methodologists: “How can AI be utilized in the educational process?” There was no question of whether to use AI or not. Advanced students – future programmers – are already fully applying it for educational and other purposes. In this research, the authors will share their experience of applying AI in teaching probability theory and other mathematical disciplines in a technical university, generalize it, and provide recommendations. Probability theory was chosen not by chance: it was one of the subjects whose content was not formalized and was not amenable to “Internet solvers.” AI fills this gap; it seems only a matter of time before AI can solve any probability problem. In this case, what should we teach?
