Generative AI performance in core undergraduate mathematics: a curriculum-level case study

The study examines how generative AI tools like ChatGPT perform on typical first‑year undergraduate mathematics assessment questions. By generating, transcribing, and blind‑marking AI responses to eight assessments covering the entire curriculum, the authors find that AI attains a first‑class level of performance, with consistency across modules that exceeds that of students in invigilated exams. The results suggest a need to redesign mathematics assessments to address the impact of generative AI.

EduAgentQG: Multi-Agent Personalized Mathematics Question Generation with Explicit Diversity and Objective-Aware Evaluation

EduAgentQG is a multi‑agent framework for generating personalized mathematics questions that explicitly controls diversity and aligns with educational objectives. It operates through a closed‑loop cycle of planning, writing, evaluation, refinement, and checking, using fine‑grained evaluation to ensure logical correctness, solvability, and alignment with knowledge concepts, difficulty, grade level, and core competencies. The authors built a benchmark of 10,273 questions across Grades 1‑9 and demonstrated that EduAgentQG outperforms existing methods in diversity, objective consistency, and win rate.
