I have in mind to begin by writing math books because they have a very logical structure. To begin with I was playing around with writing my own content and also making video - which in itself could be an important component of an intelligent textbook. Recently I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to actually make something happen that other people would see the value in then I should try to show some sort of "minimum viable product" - ie; an actual textbook that you could, in theory, use to teach an actual class. To this end, I have taken https://6c5416d85b78243586803bdbb4771b5d2d699363.googledrive.com/host/0B8H35yJ22OmzOEo2dHJsR2dFblk/Yellow7.html On Thursday, June 19, 2014 2:48:01 AM UTC+10, Yakov wrote: > > Hello Richard, > > what education topics are you interested in?
