Final Results: Prof Pi and GPT-4 Tutoring Mathematics in Arabic through Whatsapp

Mathematics is an ancillary subject in many fields of study. At a university level, mathematics courses are often required of students whose primary course of study might be medicine or computer science. This paper presents the final results of a project which used OpenAI’s GPT-4 API to tutor mathematics to university level students studying at a university in Khartoum, Sudan. The tutoring was done in Arabic. The authors were curious not only of the quality of the mathematics tutoring provided by GPT-4 but also by the quality of the Arabic language input to GPT-4 and output from GPT-4. The GPT-4 API was accessible to students as a Whatsapp bot and students could use the bot 24 hours per day. The Whatsapp bot was named Prof Pi. Although Prof Pi as an artifact has been previously reported by the authors, a brief description of how Prof Pi works is provided in this paper for the convenience of the reader. The primary goal of this paper, however, is to present the final results from questionnaires filled by the students who took part in the research.
