My questions are 1) Is this something that is wanted? 2) Are there non homeschooling people that want to do this? 3) What other courses are wanted? GCSE? Degree Level etc. Etc. Obviously this can be applied to non homeschooling things but it sounds a good start.

Calling all home schoolers! I'm currently putting feelers out. I'm planning on starting small group courses on #ALevel Maths, Further Maths and University Admissions, with possibility of a short transition course with an experienced tutor. #homeschooling #maths

Tony Gardiner. via @thetimes A sad loss. “But, as Gardiner would have also said, while there is indeed a correct answer, that is not what’s important. The real test is the thinking that gets you there.”

The 'Clarity Index' is a neat formula for working out how clear your writing is. In brief: CI = Average sentence length + % of words with more than two syllables. I've written more about it here: robeastaway.com/blog/clarity…

Student: What does dx in an integral mean? Me (thinking): It’s a smooth section of the exterior power of the cotangent bundle. Me (out loud): It’s a tiny change in x.

Every day I work on the code the closer it gets to producing something sensible. I love numerical analysis, just not the practical bit 🤣
