I think you're absolutely right about the HN audience. In terms of your question, it would be ten texts, so we count texts bidirectionally. Hopefully you're right about business owners. We anticipate that they'll see the valu

I'm using SAGE right now for calculus. The point is to have the computer do the tedious work. But until I learn python, I end up spending my time fidgeting around with the syntax instead of actually learning calculus. I'm all for programing
