I added calendar integration and overtime nudges to LookAway (lookaway.app)

Think this would be a great course for high school or even middle school. No plug and chug that makes it a grind, plus a great intro to proofs and deeper mathematical thinking.

I taught mathematics for 30 years at the college level. This is a college level textbook and it is not appropriate for either high school or middle school. Very few students at that level would be able to understand this material.

I need to develop more intuition and maturity to understand a few relatively math-heavy engineering methods and ML/DL papers. Would you have any recommendations for not very bright college students? Perhaps something similar to Calculus Made Easy? Also, have you ever taught math using software like Mathematica or SageMath? (I graduated from college a long while ago and don't really have the bandwidth to solve problem sets by hand. I never enjoyed it or learned much from it.)

Not so sure. There are quite a lot of bright high school students that could indeed understand it. Maybe not in general but for a special interest group for sure. The local university had a group covering stuff like this and I found it to be very fun as a high school student, and there were at least 5 people that I went to school with that could easily handle this material (and I didn't go to some special school, either).

Sure. You know more. Your experience is normative. I was wrong.
