It strongly depends on the problem set.
For teaching id broadly day either set it as a prerequisite to examine something it can't do or leave it until the last lecture to show the course material can be applied more efficiently.
Learning is as much getting used to using tools correctly as understanding what the tools do and how they do it.
I've worked with those who yes, have had their brain rot due to blindly trusting Mathematica or equivalent and they never spot first step errors from their blind spot.
That being said I've worked with one person who used it really well and I think they were genuinely more efficient for it existing.
- 1001101 5y agoBC calc in high school, I probably leaned on Mathematica a little too much, but mostly to check my work. Once, I got stumped on an integral and what Mathematica churned out wasn't even close (this was '94). Got a nice little note about that in the margin from my teacher. 0 points. Might still be some Mathematica pitfalls for teachable moments.
