   I wonder if you have any experience in teaching at the primary level?

   Thanks, but it happens that I've tried NS but didn't love it. But I appreciate the question answer.

   I am in agreement with a great deal of what you say, except that one thing is missing. Five years ago it was not possible to look at what systems were around and suppose that AI could be the tutor. I see posts arguing that this is not a goo

    I'm a college faculty member. I'll just note one thing in my experience. Everything in life involves tradeoffs and this is not an exception. I have often seen people unable to take something they were interested in because a secon

    Just a note to encourage you to see a physical therapist, before deciding that there's nothing to do. I've been a jogger since 1971, started having back pain all the time. A physical therapist gave me 15 minutes worth of exercises

    Thanks. I've not seen that particular post. I just made a table this morning for Calc II notes. The first column says something like $f'(x)$ in the first row and $f'(0)$ on the second. The table body lists values for differen

    I'm interested in the midcentury modern ones because they have lots of vertical rules. I'm active on the subreddit for LaTeX and there is a religion common there that even one vertical rule is an unforgivable abomination.

    I'm not sure it is fair to claim that the Gov is behind the white paper, in that paying for a study is different than a program to develop malicious code.

    I just moved to a new college. At my prior place, I might see one student in hours in an entire semester. Here, in hours there are usually two or three each session. So yes, it varies.

    What is the site? I was interested by the page but the site won't let me in without registering.

    I have not seen anyone say this, so I will (apologies if I missed someone's comment). It is not clear that IQ is a good measure of smart. I'll also note that when I teach Elementary Statistics and ask undergrads for a show of han
