5.1.1 Code Training Benefits Mathematical Reasoning

  1. What did DeepSeekMath find about code training and arXiv papers?
    Code training before math training improved mathematical problem solving both with and without tools, partly answering whether code helps reasoning; arXiv papers, despite their popularity in math corpora, brought no notable improvement on the benchmarks tested.
