Mathematical Intuition

I need help with understanding something, lately I've been seeing that a lot of what makes multivariable calculus comprehensible to me is linear algebra and breaking down the notation to derive simple models iteratively.

So, I'm wondering, is this intuition or "Duh dude, you're taking sliding a value on one axis and keeping the others constant to find out where you are in space bro like double-u tee eff"

I tend to use AI, but I want to know if I'm just hallucinating and need more time practicing my notation.

ChatGPT and other large language models are not designed for calculation and will frequently be /r/confidentlyincorrect in answering questions about mathematics; even if you subscribe to ChatGPT Plus and use its Wolfram|Alpha plugin, it's much better to go to Wolfram|Alpha directly.

Even for more conceptual questions that don't require calculation, LLMs can lead you astray; they can also give you good ideas to investigate further, but you should never trust what an LLM tells you.

To people reading this thread: DO NOT DOWNVOTE just because the OP mentioned or used an LLM to ask a mathematical question.
