Recent articles are exploring the practical applications of mathematics across various fields and skill levels. One focus is on linear regression, with detailed guides covering the theory, implementation from scratch using tools like NumPy, and even a demonstration of a needlessly complicated tool for the same purpose. These resources are aimed at helping people understand the math behind machine learning algorithms and their real-world applications, such as predicting housing prices, forecasting sales, and analyzing scientific data.

The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in mathematics education is another key area of investigation. While LLMs demonstrate remarkable capabilities in language generation, they struggle with direct mathematical problem-solving, instead they use coding to indirectly solve mathematical problems. However, they can be powerful tools for helping students, for instance, ChatGPT can be used to solve math problems with step-by-step instructions and can also read research papers and provide explanations. Additionally, topics like multinomial distributions, and real world mathematical analysis from The Cat In The Hat are being explored to further enhance mathematical understanding.
