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.

Hi Kirby!
Loving all your Jupyter posts!
I used to be very immersed in the 'lambda' calculus side of things as I taught CS Honors aka Computer Math since the 1980s as a prerequisite to AP CSA/AB. CSH taught several topics in Discrete Mathematics using various incarnations of BASIC and homegrown curricula then we switched to Python over a decade ago using Gary Litvin's awesome Discrete Math texts. CSA was using Pascal and C++ for several years before the switch to Java and we covered several Discrete Math topics there as well.
You are correct, however, that my blog is focused on 'delta' calculus of late as I finally 'graduated' from teaching High School Math and have been teaching Multivariable Calculus for some time now at the local college. So, I finally bit the bullet this summer and converted all my SAGE notes for that course to Jupyter Notebooks! I'm loving matplotlib, numpy and sympy! I really enjoy using markdown and latex instead of plain old hashtag comments as well. The latest 2 posts on my blog, http://shadowfaxrant.blogspot.com, detail my summer project if you are interested.
BTW, thanx for mentioning my blog in your last post!
Be well, Al
