That’s not the LLM solving the problems. The LLM understands the user request and has the ability to use a math solver. Additionally: “You can also integrate Copilot with the Wolfram Alpha plug-in to gain access to vast computational, mathematical, and scientific knowledge.”
Cool, and anyone can just access Wolfram Alpha directly - as they’ve been able to for like 15 years - and make fewer mistakes than they would by using it via an LLM.
The LLM (Copilot) is being advertised as a maths tutor. It’s not good at maths. It doesnt understand anything about maths. All it can do is send your query through to Wolfram Alpha and then spit it back to you.

Hype.
