ChatGPT-4 with Code Interpreter can be used to solve introductory college-level vector calculus and electromagnetism problems

ChatGPT-4 with Code Interpreter can be used to solve introductory college-level vector calculus and electromagnetism problems Tanuj Kumar (tanuj.kumar@wisc.edu) Executive summary: We evaluated three modes of ChatGPT -- 3.5, 4, and 4 with Code Interpreter -- on a set of college-level engineering-math and electromagnetism problems, such as those often given to sophomore electrical engineering majors. We selected a set of 13 problems without first testing them with ChatGPT, and had ChatGPT solve them multiple times, using a fresh instance (chat) of ChatGPT each time. The problems range from elementary to medium-level. We were strict in our evaluation of ChatGPT's performance, marking a solution as incorrect if even a small part of the solution was wrong. Our major conclusions are: ChatGPT-4 with Code Interpreter (ChatGPT-4/CI), recently renamed Advanced Data Analysis, was able to satisfactorily solve most problems we tested most of the time. Qualitatively, one could give ChatGPT-4/CI a solid passing grade in introductory engineering math and electromagnetics.
