Abstract
The understanding and learning of mathematics has often been considered a big
challenge for many students. More recently the level of mathematical preparedness for
students entering tertiary education in Ireland has continued to generate widespread
concern both in the general public and the academic community. Reporting on these
deficiencies in basic mathematical skills in incoming undergraduates is well
documented such as O’Donoghue (2002), Gil et al (2010), Ní Shé et al (2015) and
Lawless et al (2016). Combined with this, new computing and technological
developments have emerged and data-intensive technologies, such as Artificial
Intelligence (AI). There is a need to develop maths education in a more engaging and
stimulating way for the 21st century learner through the use of technologies and in
particular mobile technologies. This article presents an overview of AI in mathematics
