Very cool. I signed up and uploaded a notebook and was impressed with the stylesheet and presentation. Right out of the box, you're making the notebook output seem more like an article that someone might want to read (less distrinction

I really like this new way of doing factoring, since 90% of the steps of the explanation are more intuitive and direct than the usual guessing techniques and the complete-the-square technique that leads to the quadratic formula. I was so ex

SymPy is a bit of a niche so I don't know that many books based on it, specifically. In general, I don't know that many math/phys/engineering books that take the "computation first" approach. I'm sure they

First off I want to note TI calculators are not anything special when it comes to assembler. It was more of a limitation of the platform (in order to get games that are fast, you had to write them in assembler because TI-BASIC was too slow)

I hope it will be able to run SymPy[1] (maybe without the mpmath stuff). It would great to have `solve`, `expand`, `factor`, etc. I've been telling all my students to use https://live.sympy.org/ but having that availab

Same here. I was programming "demos" with animations in class all the time. They were running really slow, so I even learned a bit of z80 assembler, and had to learn how to solder together diode + resitor to create a SERIAL cable

I did't know about this option, and I just tried it. Seems to be waaaaay more verbose, but I guess it can be tweaked/customized. I tried it on a command line script that uses google libs and still waiting for stdin to come back...

The Python package PySnooper is pretty good for "fancy" print debug statements: https://github.com/cool-RR/pysnooper I've caught quite a few bugs using this show-me-all-locals() approach...

University textbooks for first-year. They are bloated, expensive, and mostly useless, but undergrads are still forced to purchase them because they are required for the course.

Never mind the bioxiv link; the Nature article is no longer paywalled, see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-021-00821-9.pdf

Wow this is excellent. It's very nice it can access local filesystem like a regular app, but nothing to install (other than to open a webpage). Good stuff!

Yeah, MathML is going to be the "right" way to do this in the long term, but right now not many reader devices support it, so not a viable option. I'm doing testing though, and hopefully going to see more MathML in the future

Yes it's "just" HTML/CSS, but given the wide range of ePub reader capabilities, it's not like you can just take any web page and put it in an .epub. You have be conservative, and use only basic stuff. Also JavaScri

That's very nice and well done. Anything distraction free gets lots of points from me! A great way to browse the openly licensed images in the commons. If you also want to introduce reading aspects, I highly recommend the African Stor

I agree with the author that the need to write descriptive commit messages (and untangle off-topic commits using `git add -p`) does take one out of the "flow" state, but in my experience these post-work, commit-time self-checks ar

Yeah the Russian pirated books site (libgen.li right now) has a version, but it's outdated. I recommend getting the print version because it's easy to read (and flip back and forth with page references). We have a free-eBook-copy-

I'm not sure if it is a "proof" of any sort, but I find the ideas in the माण्डूक्य उपनिषद् (Mandukya Upanishad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandukya_Upanishad ) to be a very interesting point of view. T

The main reason is to have more control of how the math equations are rendered (the way softcover converts math to images is best-in-class). I also had a bunch of custom macros and environments that I knew how to do by adapting/extendi

Interesting. Do you happen to know which eReader devices (and ePub readers in general) support it? MathML would be so much easier than images!
