Calculators and the slack channel as a Math-Code Gym

The Numworks/TI-84 python calculator, which encapsulates, functionality ranging from a python shell, to built in and customisable support for statistics, functions, regression, sequences and data mining, is directly amenable to a functionality as a math and code gym towards mental arithmetic and several number theory based therapies, such as prime number therapy. Similar functionality is achieved on the slack channel, with the Wolfram Alpha API.In this paper we describe the use of python scripts towards primality detection exercises, of both small primes and arbitrary sized numbers and several other exercises including sequence prediction, inspired by branch prediction architectures, plotting functions and exercises in data mining, in spotting patterns and forming a basket of associations.Keywords: Numworks, Math and code gym, primality detection, data mining, basket of associations, sequences, branch prediction, plotting graphs.
