The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technical applications has significantly transformed the landscape of mathematics education in higher institutions. Recent discussions have centered around the utilization of mathematical applications on smartphones and the increasing availability of lecture content on YouTube. However, with the advent of AI platforms accessible to the public for free, the discourse has evolved into a more complex and critical examination of educational methodologies.

In this study, we delve into the multifaceted impact of these innovations on students enrolled in mathematics courses, particularly focusing on the Mathematics 2 (FMath 120) course at the International University of Applied Science (IU) in Germany. Through the implementation of a quantitative research method, we administered questionnaires to students enrolled in the Mathematics 2 course during the SS2024 and WS2023 semesters, evaluating their engagement with AI platforms and other mathematical applications. These assessments were conducted at the beginning and end of the semesters, gauging the lecturer's effectiveness in promoting these platforms to students.

The research employs the Dependent T-test to analyze the results, with findings expected to be disseminated by March 2024. This study aims to uncover the extent of student interest in AI and other popular applications, shedding light on their achievements in comparison to students who undertook the same course in 2022. By elucidating the impact of AI integration on student learning outcomes and pedagogical approaches, educators and policymakers can formulate evidence-based strategies to enhance mathematical literacy and academic success among students in higher education.
