contents We explore if RL can be useful for symbolic mathematics. Previous work showed contrastive learning can solve linear equations in one variable. We show model-free PPO \cite{schulman2017proximal} augmented with curiosity-based exploration and graph-based actions can solve nonlinear equations such as those involving radicals, exponentials, and trig functions. Our work suggests curiosity-based exploration may be useful for general symbolic reasoning tasks.
