Kindergarteners do not need to do adaptive math testing. Research on problem solving, creativity, etc., is really interesting for this age group; however, I doubt that's the purpose of this ALEKS product.

Are there any nice patterns in the Fourier series or Taylor series (centered at 0) for spiral trig functions?
Are the sequences of coefficients of either series things that are well known (by those who know them well...)?
This could be a fun Calculus or ODE class project, perhaps.

Yes, most LLMs are matrices wearing trench coats. Some don't use matrices, though. IDK which is worse.

Researchers upend AI status quo by eliminating matrix multiplication in LLMs
Running AI models without floating point matrix math could mean far less power consumption.
