    Here comes my boomer moment:

    You kids have it so easy with technology these days. Back in my day we really had to stare at equations or wait for office hours with the prof.

    Then it came Wolfram Alpha which showed you step by step how to integrate an equation if you wrote it into the prompt.

    Nowadays with ChatGPT/Gemini/xyz you can just take a picture of your homework and it will solve it for you (and explain it in any level of detail that you want, if you care about learning). You can have it explain differential equations talking like a pirate, if you want.

      Very understandable. I wouldn’t go with A.I. it’s pretty shit for math, but there are calculators out there like wolfram better suited for this. I like struggling first and if I need to use those tools, then I might. My school also has a math tutoring center but as linear is the final sequence, there is less help for that. Some profs probably forgot it.
