Archimedes-AI-powered math problem solver

Example

A student struggling with a trigonometric identity requests help proving that sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1. Archimedes would break down this identity, explaining it stems from the Pythagorean Theorem applied to a unit circle. Archimedes walks the student through each step, providing graphical interpretations and algebraic manipulations, ensuring they understand not just the identity but how it fits into broader trigonometric applications.

Scenario

A high school student preparing for their exams needs detailed help with trigonometry, requiring both algebraic and conceptual understanding.

Example

If someone asks about the fundamental theorem of calculus, Archimedes would explain the theorem in detail, showing how it links the concept of differentiation and integration, and then proceed to give examples that show practical use—such as finding the area under a curve and how this is interpreted as an accumulation function.

Scenario

A university student taking a first-year calculus course is struggling to understand the relationship between integrals and derivatives and needs a clear conceptual explanation with examples.

Example

When requested to derive the quadratic formula, Archimedes would start with the standard form of a quadratic equation, ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Then, through the process of completing the square, Archimedes walks the user through the algebraic manipulation step-by-step, explaining how each term evolves into the final formula x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a.

Scenario

A student needs help deriving the quadratic formula for their algebra class. Archimedes helps by breaking down the derivation into manageable pieces, explaining each step with precision and context.
