contents This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the performance of seven different Large Language Models (LLMs) in solving a diverse set of math advanced calculus problems. The study aims to evaluate these models' accuracy, reliability, and problem-solving capabilities, including ChatGPT 4o, Gemini Advanced with 1.5 Pro, Copilot Pro, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Meta AI, Mistral AI, and Perplexity. The assessment was conducted through a series of thirty-two test problems, encompassing a total of 320 points. The problems covered various topics, from vector calculations and geometric interpretations to integral evaluations and optimization tasks. The results highlight significant trends and patterns in the models' performance, revealing both their strengths and weaknesses - for instance, models like ChatGPT 4o and Mistral AI demonstrated consistent accuracy across various problem types, indicating their robustness and reliability in mathematical problem-solving, while models such as Gemini Advanced with 1.5 Pro and Meta AI exhibited specific weaknesses, particularly in complex problems involving integrals and optimization, suggesting areas for targeted improvements. The study also underscores the importance of re-prompting in achieving accurate solutions, as seen in several instances where models initially provided incorrect answers but corrected them upon re-prompting. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the current capabilities and limitations of LLMs in the domain of math calculus, with the detailed analysis of each model's performance on specific problems offering a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement, contributing to the ongoing development and refinement of LLM technology. The findings are particularly relevant for educators, researchers, and developers seeking to leverage LLMs for educational and practical applications in mathematics.
