    Hi Julius, it's been a while! Yep, it's an extremely challenging problem. The initial version of the Math Academy system has been primarily geared toward individual learners, which…

    That's a good point! We definitely need to add some more information to the website. In the meantime, if you send an email to support@mathacademy.com, I'd be happy to give you demo…

    The Mathematics for Machine Learning course doesn't assume knowledge of Linear Algebra, but covers the basics of Linear Algebra you'll need along with the basics of Multivariable C…

    We just released a comprehensive online course on Multivariable Calculus ( https://mathacademy.com/courses/multivariable-calculus ), and we also have a course on Mathematics for Ma…

    At Math Academy, we've created a sequence of math courses called Mathematical Foundations I, II, & III that cover everything from 5th Grade Math up through Calculus I & II and will…

    Geez, I'm trying to figure out how to describe in a short paragraph or two what it would take a book to explain. Here's my best shot. We've created an extensive knowledge graph rep…

    We should have those courses ready within the next year. Multivariable Calculus should be available in another few weeks, then Probability & Statistics at the end of July, then Met…

    I guess you have to think about it like this. How much would it be worth to you to learn 3-5 years of math in a single year without getting stuck? And I mean really learning it to …

    At Math Academy ( https://mathacademy.com ), we created a series of courses, Mathematical Foundations I, II, & III, that will take a student from basic arithmetic through calculus …

    There's a 30-day free trial, so if you cancel during that period you get a complete refund.

    At Math Academy ( https://mathacademy.com ), we implement spaced repetition in combination with a knowledge graph consisting of several thousand math topics and tens of thousands o…

    I understand why it might seem that way, but it's really not. We've just put a premium on learning efficiency, and most math classes are highly inefficient - whether K-12 or univer…

    It's funny you bring that up as it seems to be a common request from adults interested in leveling up their math. I'm sure we could come up with something reasonable.

    It's true that the students in the school program are high-aptitude, but something like 70% of the students in the middle school where this all started are on the federal free and …

    We started with the multiple-choice format as it's a good 90-10 solution in terms of technology, but we now have free=response questions that are automatically evaluated and can ha…

    Yeah, pretty close, although it's not like most universities will allow students to skip straight to graduate school. Our first cohort of students just graduated this past year, so…

    Well, it turns out that when you have mathematically-talented students completing Calculus in 8th-grade, and move on the Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus in 9th, you event…

    Good morning, HN! It's Jason (the founder). My wife (co-founder and co-conspirator) just woke me up to alert me to a sudden spike in demo requests, so I'm a little blurry-eyed at t…
