haha :) yeah it's the new imp stuff i like parts of the idea but other parts i really dislike basically it TRIES to make math more interactive and world like i really enjoy how most of it is really programable stuff :) where compared to normal math books it's a bit harder to program just a problem instead of a story but imp needs help with it's grading and teaching the grading is terrible i can get a A as long as i can explain and know how my way of doing it wrong "works" but will fail if i just write the write answer without explanation i dont mind the explanations bit but that what i write matters more than if i can do the work is odd adn i just haven't learned anything new yet :)
