Continuing my exploration of the capabilities of BARD, I asked it about some computational and mathematical matters, starting with one that was relevant to recent work I have been doing. I'll comment along with each interaction this time.P07: Two angles are related by the function A =
arctan(sec B * tan B). Given A, what is B?
Bard: The given function is not invertible, so there
is no unique value of B that corresponds to a given value of A. This is because
the tangent function is periodic, with a period of 180°. This means that for
any value of A, there are infinitely many values of B that will satisfy the
given function.
For example, if A=45∘, then B could be any value in the
range (−45∘, 45∘). Or, if A=90°, then B could be
any value in the range (−90°, 90°).
In order to find a specific value of B that corresponds to a
given value of A, you would need to specify additional information about the
problem. For example, you might know that B is an acute angle, or that B is a
right angle.
P07: In the above problem, both A and B are in the
range 0° to 90°.
Bard: In that case, there are two possible values of
B for any given value of A. For example, if A=45°, then the two possible values
of B are 45° and 135°. This is because the tangent function is positive in the
first and third quadrants, so the two possible values of B are the two angles
in the first and third quadrants that have a tangent of 1.
In general, the two possible values of B can be found by
solving the equation
[recast by P07] tan
B = ± tan A / sec B
For example, if A=45°, then this equation becomes
[recast by P07] tan
B = ±tan 45° / sec B = ±1 / √2
Solving this equation, we find that the two possible values
of B are 45° and 135°.
The original statement is correct, though not only for the reason BARD presented. This is an example of a Trapdoor Function. If angle A is known, it is straightforward to calculate angle B. But if only B is known, finding A requires an iteration, such as successive applications of Newton's Approximation.
BARD treated this like a Diophantine problem, and ignored the restriction of B to (0°, 90°). Further, the answer is incorrect. Tan 45° = 1, sec 45° ≈ 1.414, so 1 is being equated to √2.
P07: Are you able to chart a function?
Bard: Yes, I can chart a function. I can use the
following steps to chart a function:
1.
Identify the domain and range of the function.
2.
Choose a few values of x and calculate the
corresponding values of y.
3.
Plot the points (x,y) on a graph.
4.
Connect the points with a smooth curve.
For example, let's chart the function y=x2. The
domain of this function is all real numbers, and the range is all non-negative
real numbers. We can choose a few values of x, such as x=0,1,2,3, and calculate
the corresponding values of y, such as y=0,1,4,9. We can then plot the points
(0,0), (1,1), (2,4), (3,9) on a graph and connect them with a smooth curve. The
resulting graph is a parabola that opens upwards.
P07: Can you draw the chart?
Bard: I can't draw a
chart for you here, but I can give you a description of the chart of y=x2. The chart is a parabola that opens upwards.
The vertex of the parabola is at (0,0). The x-axis is the line of symmetry of
the parabola. The parabola approaches the x-axis asymptotically as x approaches
±∞.
This is just as I expected; BARD is linguistic in nature, and has no graphical capabilities...yet!
P07: What is the integral of Sqrt(sec(x)*tan(x))?
Bard:
To solve this, we can use the following steps:
- Let u
= sec x. Then du = sec x tan x dx.
- Substituting
gives us:
Code snippet
∫√sec(x)tan(x)dx = ∫√u du = 2√u + C = 2√sec(x) + C
where C is an arbitrary constant of integration.

P07: Can a computer store the exact value of an
irrational number?
Bard: No, a computer cannot store the exact value of
an irrational number. This is because computers store numbers in binary, which
is a finite representation of numbers. Irrational numbers are infinite, so they
cannot be represented exactly in binary.
For example, the number π is irrational. It is a
non-repeating, non-terminating decimal number. This means that there is no
finite sequence of digits that can represent π exactly. If we try to store π in
binary, we will only be able to store an approximation of it.
The same is true for all other irrational numbers. They
cannot be stored exactly in binary, so they can only be approximated.
However, this does not mean that
computers cannot use irrational numbers. They can still perform calculations
with irrational numbers, as long as they are aware that the numbers are being
approximated.
The only quibble I have with this answer is the word "they" in the last sentence. Computers aren't aware of anything. It should read, "…as long as those using the program are aware…"
P07: What is Green’s Theorem?
Bard: Green's theorem is a theorem in vector calculus
that relates a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double
integral over the plane region D bounded by C. It is the two-dimensional
special case of Stokes' theorem.
In mathematical terms, Green's theorem states that
Code snippet
∫CF⋅ds=∬D(curl F)⋅k dA

[link to https://bard.google.com/faq#coding]
where
- F is a vector field defined on a two-dimensional domain D
- C is a simple closed curve in D
- ds is the line element along C
- dA is the area element in D
- curl F is the curl of F, which is a vector field that measures the circulation of F around a point
- k is the unit vector in the z-direction
Green's theorem can be used to solve a variety of problems in physics, engineering, and mathematics. For example, it can be used to
- Calculate the flow of a fluid through a region
- Determine the area of a plane figure
- Find the centroid of a plane figure
- Solve boundary value problems
BARD then referred to the
Wikipedia article on Green’s Theorem, and suggested three Google searches on
the topic. I then asked about one term used in the description.
P07: What is the curl of
a function?
Bard: In vector calculus,
the curl is a vector operator that describes the infinitesimal circulation of a
vector field in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The curl at a point in the
field is represented by a vector whose length and direction denote the
magnitude and axis of the maximum circulation. The curl of a field is formally
defined as the circulation density at each point of the field.
In other words, the curl of a
vector field is a vector that measures the rotation of the field around a
point. The curl is zero at points where the field does not rotate, and it is
nonzero at points where the field does rotate. The direction of the curl vector
indicates the direction of the axis of rotation, and the magnitude of the curl
vector indicates the magnitude of the rotation.
The curl of a vector field can
be calculated using the cross product. The cross product is a mathematical
operation that takes two vectors and produces a third vector that is
perpendicular to both of the original vectors. The direction of the cross
product vector is determined by the right-hand rule.
The curl of a vector field can
also be calculated using the curl operator. The curl operator is a mathematical
symbol that represents the curl of a vector field. The curl operator is written
as a counterclockwise cross product, and it is applied to the vector field.
The curl of a vector field has
many applications in physics and engineering. For example, the curl of the
velocity field of a fluid is used to calculate the vorticity of the fluid. The
vorticity of a fluid is a measure of the rotation of the fluid. The curl of the
electric field is used to calculate the magnetic field. The magnetic field is a
vector field that describes the direction and magnitude of the magnetic force.
The curl is a powerful tool for
analyzing the behavior of vector fields. It can be used to calculate the
rotation of a vector field, the vorticity of a fluid, and the magnetic field.
The curl is an important tool in physics, engineering, and other fields.
BARD referenced a Wikipedia
article on the subject. In an alternate draft BARD added:
The curl of a vector field F is denoted by ∇ × F. In three dimensions, the curl can be computed using the following formula:
Where F1, F2, and F3 are the components of function F.Not being a vector calculus
expert, I had to ask for the definition of the inverted delta.
The symbol ∇
is called the nabla symbol. It is a triangular symbol resembling an inverted
Greek delta: \nabla or ∇. The name comes, by reason of the
symbol's shape, from the Hellenistic Greek word νάβλα for a Phoenician harp,
and was suggested by the encyclopedist William Robertson Smith to Peter Guthrie
Tait in correspondence.
In mathematics, the nabla symbol
is used to represent the gradient operator in calculus. The gradient is a
vector that points in the direction of the greatest rate of change of a
function, and its magnitude is equal to the magnitude of the rate of change.
The nabla symbol can also be
used to represent other vector operators, such as the divergence and the curl.
The divergence is a vector operator that measures the outward flux of a vector
field from a surface, and the curl is a vector operator that measures the
circulation of a vector field around a point.
The nabla symbol is a powerful
tool that can be used to represent a variety of vector operators in
mathematics. It is an important symbol in vector calculus and has many
applications in physics, engineering, and other fields.
