We're about to rapidly increase the speed at which we create and upgrade our courses. To accomplish this, we're going to double the size of Math Academy's content team over the next six weeks and will likely triple it over the next few months.
There's a limit to how quickly you

- We have no interest in taking outside investment, selling out, exiting, licensing our IP, or partnering with a larger corporation, non-profit, or organization. Our goal is to redefine the quality, rigor, efficiency, and accessibility of math education globally, and going alone
- A new and improved version of our Mathematics for Machine Learning course is finally ready! If you're enrolled in the current version you should see this pop up on your dashboard sometime tomorrow.
- Here's a screenshot of a new feature we're preparing to roll out to some beta testers called Gravity. With it, you'll be able to prioritize one or more topics (as well as any missing prerequisites along their respective learning paths) by "adding gravity" to them. There's a lot
- I set an extremely aggressive target for the release of our Machine Learning I course, but despite staffing up in record time with some extremely talented additions to the content team, @ninja_maths informed me that it would only be possible if I could loan him the heavyComing up with Math Academy style questions for Machine Learning I can be a bit challenging at times -- it sometimes takes a lot of thought to come up with a type of problem that is conceptually proper, not watered down, that you can actually do by hand, and that you can "clone"
- Want to know what it's like to do a startup with your significant other? Well, here's a snippet for you. I was up until 2 am last night coding (as I have been just about every day for the past month), and my wife got up to answer support emails at 4 am, so we almost
- You see that little kid in my profile photo with the chocolate all over his face...? (Funny, he pretty much looks the same, including the chocolate!) Well, he's now a junior in college majoring in math and computer science (dad brag incoming!) AND is on track to complete their
- Here's a concept drawing of the sidebar widget for our upcoming Groups feature, which I think is going to be really cool.
- Here's the new and improved header and leagues popup for the Math Academy leaderboard. It's still pretty basic but an upgrade nonetheless. Also, more leagues coming soon!
- We're fast-tracking our upcoming sequence of machine learning courses given how much excitement and energy there is among our adult students in this area. Justin and I only began talking about it last week, but my enthusiasm and impatience coupled with his cyborg-like work rateSpent the last several days mapping out a rough table of contents for the upcoming course Machine Learning I on @_MathAcademy_. The scope of ML1 is a semester-long course on classical machine learning that also introduces some of the offshoots like deep learning, reinforcement
- We have a lot of stuff cooking at the moment and one of them is our upcoming Streaks feature. About a week ago, I hired my good friend and long-time podcast co-host @justinvincent to work with me on screen designs, and that decision is really paying off. This is what we came up
- The worst piece of advice I ever received (and fortunately ignored!) was: "Don't go into computer programming. It's 'downwardly mobile'. Everything is going to be outsourced to India." - Circa Dec 1993. It was delivered with absolute certainty and self-assurance not long after
- Replying to @KamStaszewskiYep, I completely get the skepticism. In fact, I'd be skeptical myself! However, there are some other factors at play. 1. I don't do bosses, and when you take venture capital, you have to form a board, which are people you have to answer to, also known as bosses. 2. I'm 54,
- Replying to @justinskycak and @raj2eeTo provide a little more context, @justinskycak self-studied a large portion of the MIT Open Courseware while still in high school. As a result, this gave him more latitude to operate when he got to university. This is a good illustration of how getting ahead of things can open
