Is anybody wondering when there are going to be new exercises added to khanacademy's math program? I already completed 95% of all their math exercises(362 concepts out of 380 to be exact) and is waiting for higher levels concepts to master or lower level exercises to reinforce my knowledge.

New exercises are added every so often. For example, some basic matrix math was just added a couple weeks ago. We're currently iterating on our current, lower level ones, to try to figure out what works the best, before we move on to higher level math and other topics.

  I put in a feature request to make the exercises input field use type="number" instead of text. Just thought I'd ask again here. I'm trying to get a Nexus 7 set up to do KA and little things like that would help (currently it brings up the alpha keyboard). Is there any internal discussion about tweaking the site to run on tablets?

    Yes, we've been working some on making the website more mobile-friendly -- just last week we added some styles for our topic pages: http://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra http://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra Visit that page on a phone to see the alternate layout; we're also working on improving support for tablets. I'll look into making the inputs use type="number"; off the top of my head, there's no reason why we shouldn't make that change.

  I have a suggestion for website orientation: the subcategory page for any given topic should be simpler. Just list the subcategories for, say, math, and right underneath those subcategories, list the individual video topics. It's kind of a pain searching for a video on a specific subject, and it would help tremendously to be able to see all of the video titles on one page.

This is a little bit OT, but how was your math before you started the exercises? How long did you tske to complete them? And finally how is it now? Thanks
