Hi Al, I'm glad you picked up on that link back to Shadowfax. I've finally picked up on your initial A. and added that to the hyperlink [1]. I consider this hardwiring into a sort of textbook (more like a trade book in some respects -- what's a Jupyter Notebook by genre anyway?) and am happy to showcase contemporaries hoeing the same row (as in "a tough row to hoe") mas o meno. You've been stellar, bar none.
I operate a lot on the Humanities side, conventionally across a chasm from STEM (C.P. Snow). A chasm better bridged by my curriculum, which I shop through my Quaker contacts, hoping to start a next chapter in the Quaker schools story. They've had a reputation for excellence, e.g. Sidwell. Pythonic high school math might soon be a thing at some of our brick and mortar schools. In the meantime, I'm already teaching online (small classes, good ratio). Kirby [1] the pipeline is such that changes on localhost, git pushed to the repo, won't show up on nbviewer until maybe the next day, given various caches and buffers along the route.
