Description

Computational literacy is essential for physics students, yet traditional tools can still be challenging for beginners. We introduce a digital tool, AI-enhanced SageMath HTML notebooks, integrating the Mistral AI assistant for code generation, formatting, and explanation. This seamless integration strongly supports numerical and symbolic calculations, data analysis, and visualization. To assess its impact, we conducted pilot testing in 2024 and launched a case study in 2025 within two university courses. Our findings, with a full data analysis based on current data science methodology, will be presented at the conference, demonstrating how generative AI could enhance physics computational literacy.
