GPT4(o) is quite good at advanced math, it's been helpful when I was learning differential geometry. Not sure how Claude compares though, this 3.5 release has tempted me to try it out. Also, it's finally available in Canada!

Claude 3 was much better than GPT4 for functional analysis and abstract algebra (first year classes).

One huge leg up here is ChatGPT defaults to outputting (and actually displaying, if you're using the default client) LaTeX. Between that and this being one of the few places high verbosity is actually helpful I preferred GPT4/4o for helping learn calc 2. It's well possible Claude 3.5 Sonnet gets the final answer right on the first try more often though.

After a few months of writing all my homework in LaTeX I'm finding my thinking slid towards the raw latex rather than the rendered form. I'll have to wait till fall semester to give 3.5 a good whirl.
