After K-12 years of compulsory math education, no-one (no-one!) taught me that there are CAS (Computer Algebra Systems) like SymPy and Sage; other than that better calculators are not allowed because that's an unfair advantage.
Simplified cost and revenue models with fixed and variable expenses may be an ideal way to introduce CAS. Solve for break-even in terms of n years or months. Does pyodide work well with minimal software deployment or centralized resources for hosting a JupyterHub server that hosts preconfigured docker containers?
