Writing the denominator first looks weird to me, same as writing the square root symbol after what's under it.
> what is the derivative of e^-x?
It does a good job, but man is it hard to read
./solve "what is the circumference of a square?"
Solution: I'm sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding in the question. Squares don't have a circumference; they have a perimeter. Circumference is a term used for circular shapes. Let me explain the difference:
1. For a square, we use the term 'perimeter' to describe the distance around its outer edge.
2. The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides.
\text{Perimeter of a square} = 4s
3. Where 's' is the length of one side of the square.
4. Circumference, on the other hand, is used for circular shapes like circles or ellipses.
5. The circumference of a circle is calculated using the formula:
\text{Circumference of a circle} = 2\pi r
Where 'r' is the radius of the circle.
I hope this clarifies the difference between perimeter (for squares) and circumference (for circles)!
Solution: I'm sorry, but this isn't a typical math problem. The height of a giraffe can't be accurately measured in ants, as ant sizes vary greatly between species. Instead, I can provide you with some interesting facts:
1. An average adult giraffe is about 16-18 feet (4.8-5.5 meters) tall.
2. The average size of an ant ranges from 0.08 to 1 inch (2-25 mm).
3. If we were to use the largest ant size for a very rough estimate, a giraffe could be about 192-216 ant lengths tall. However, this is not a standard or accurate measurement.
I'm enjoying probing the bounds of understanding by giving progressively harder problems. It found the roots of a cubic, and proved sqrt(2) and pi were irrational.
Too difficult to read the handwriting, and I'm curious about "how it works". All in all, a fantastic demo.
Cool project tho
I ended up hooking up an LLM on the backend to solve math problems as well.
This ended up being more of an exploration in trying to make alternative outputs for LLMs that are a little more dynamic than just text and/or LaTeX.
It's interesting that each time it shows a different variant.
Anyway, when I press "get the derivative of f(x)=x^2" I get
2-1
f'(x) = 2 x
I added labels to show the problem (but they are too small) and I used Paint to create a fake version where the 1 has the size I'd like.
Just run: #./solve.js "What is the answer to life, the universe, everything?"
I just tried it and it gave the correct answer.
I got: Nothing
Will work on making the spacing better on desktop!
