Hello Professor Bard, I look forward to reading the new edition.
I wonder what you think about writing a version geared towards younger students. For the last couple of years I have concerned myself with the woeful state of student preparation for college-level STEM majors as evidenced by the standardized test scores ... in math and everything else. I haven't come up with any hopeful answers yet except for a) increasing interest and motivation (somehow); b) attention-focusing mental disciplines (e.g. "Flow"); and c) math counselors / coaches assigned to each student for their entire academic career. I think SageMath could be pretty great. Best wishes!
