Abstract

"One of the most powerful tools in human history." "Every teacher needs to know ChatGPT
know." These are just two of the numerous titles from popular online newspapers on the topic of ChatGPT, a chatbot that can compose human-like texts. The titles impressively underscore the importance of creating and
evaluation of texts. For numerous questions and applications, it is helpful to be able to evaluate texts automatically
for example, to compare the language used by politicians, in books or in newspapers. Therefore, texts and their evaluation should also be dealt with in mathematics classes. In this article we would like to show the possibilities of text analysis in mathematics classes. For this purpose, we give three examples of the use of texts, in the context of functional relations, probability calculus, as well as in vector and matrix calculus. In selecting the examples, it was important for us to cover as wide a range of topics from the curriculum as possible.
