I used it to help me with homework, basically to test my results against theirs. Time and time again it uses the correct formula but then does errors in calculation, but always says its infallable. Don't remember the exact values but It once wanted me to believe that ~0.46 is about the same as ~0.10, in a calculation about probability.

In short, I don't fully trust it, but it can be helpful if I'm stuck in a problem because it often finds the right approach.

I agree, it is so confident even when it is very wrong. I was using it to review Boolean algebra, and it asserted that two expressions were equivalent when they were not. I asked it to prove it using a truth table. It printed the truth table correctly, showing that the expressions were not equivalent. Then it said, "As you can see, the expressions are equivalent."
