What do you guys think of the UW information school, where this thesis is from?

There was also a very interesting and popular HN post a few days ago from the ischool about how to better incorporate AI in teaching.

It doesn't seem to have much of a connection to the well-known UWCSE.

Did you make SageMath? I used it a bunch in college. It was/is such a cool tool. There was a LaTeX plugin or something and I used it to grade students papers. It's also how I learned about hardware and software precision. Along with a whole bunch of other stuff.

Also very much thought it was cool to know someone can nerd out on math and skateboard.
