My pleasure! I don't plan on writing any more math textbooks.

I had fun writing them and I'm glad that they are making a positive impact, but since then I've been consumed by my work on Math Academy, which I find even more fun/impactful. (We do have a Methods of Proof course out, which is many times more scaffolded, refined, comprehensive, and generally instructionally superior to any textbook I could write independently, not to mention it's adaptive.)

So, long story short, I enjoyed writing those textbooks and am glad they're seeing the light of day, but I've moved on to a new chapter of life and don't plan on writing any more math books in the future (with the possible exception of something super niche like the math behind maximizing learning efficiency in hierarchical knowledge structures).




Understood! How much is it to enroll in your “Methods of Proof” course or in Math Academy more generally? I didn’t didn’t quite understand how it works based on the FAQ, is it lecture-problem based with an interactive testing element for course placement?


Check out https://mathacademy.com/how-it-works, especially the section "The Learning Process," but let me know if you have any follow-up questions not addressed there. Pricing is a flat $49/mo per student, basically an all-you-can-eat buffet of learning.
