...Seriously? Why don’t you estimate the odds of a AND b AND c AND d, as your first math exercise.
Why would I want to estimate it if I can just ask? If it turns out there aren’t any, I start getting creative. If it turns out there are… well, so far so good, and thank sanity I didn’t jump to the harder solutions even though a simpler one was available.
I am having difficulty figuring out how a person who still needs to learn the relevant math would be able to create anything like what you are suggesting.
By “open-source”, I meant “using pre-existing open-source software”, not “building our own open-source software”. I thought the post made that clear. The aim of the possible project is to write textbooks (or maybe wiki articles?), not software.
ETA: Took “open-source” off the TL;DR and replaced “implementation” with “curriculum” and similar terms. People were beginning to think I was talking about software, which I wasn’t.
Fixed, thanks.
