First person finished the theoretical foundations for quantum computing course yesterday. So proud of them!! They went from complex numbers all the way to understanding quantum teleportation with roughly 40 lessons & 300 exercises. Second person is almost there too!

do you guys think releasing a ~1000-1500 XP "math academy style" course in quantum computing is worth? or would you rather its built out a bit more to say 2500-3000 (prob an extra month or two). only about 500 of that XP is actual quantum atm (rest is the math fundamentals)

thank you brian wilson youtube.com/watch?v=WOQ-tn…

Get hype

The theoretical foundations for quantum computing course will have spaced repetition reviews and an adaptive diagnostic test so all you MA nerds out there can test out of the math!

I do kind of agree with this though I know the critical rationalist folks would disagree. That’s part of why I’m working on “math academy for physics”. MA is not just solving math education: It’s also solving doom scrolling, giving people their motivation and agency back.

Optimizing lesson and review selection It's a bit overkill for the first course, whose dependency graph is very "vertical", but will be very useful as we build more courses with more "branching"

Minimalist redesign in progress

im sorry for the way i talked to you last night Gemini

Ignore the context but I always think about descending a building like this whenever im in a building like I like thinking about if its possible and how I’d do it. feel like every building’s different. anyone?

We’re making good on this btw, we’ve added roughly ~10 quantum topics so the course will be basically half math half quantum. And i don’t want to say the exact date barring something unexpected, but let’s just say July is going to be an exciting month!

Isn't math beautiful?

If you want to be creative in the big picture, you have to be robotic in the low-level details.

Most of the world has simply not woken up to how fundamentally the math academy guys are changing education They are a $100B+ company in the making

Edtech is very slept on as an industry. Think it’s gonna have its biggest moment since MOOCs before 2030 for sure, and likely much much bigger.

A smooth path to and including Deutsch’s Algorithm has just been finished for the quantum course

Obvious to anyone that actually works with the models in any meaningful way.

52 topics, 27 of them math (can be skipped with good diagnostic test result), 25 of them quantum Course now deserves the title Intro to Quantum Computing

A goal of Lemnisket

Life gets a lot more fun, fulfilling, and hopeful when you're climbing a skill tree instead of doomscrolling.
