Hi Ted, It is admirable what you are trying to do with mathrider. I am 100% with you that this can have a phenomenal influence on math education in middle/high school and college levels. I would like to start digging into this thing. In the link you provided, there is really not much info at all about the project as far as what components it contains, or even the intro to programming with mathrider book you have mentioned. Correct me if I am wrong but I think just yesterday there were tabs on the link you sent that pointed to such documentation and info. Maybe I am hallucinating :-)
Anyways, I think it would be good to set up a proper page with clear info about the project. Personally I would like to see how such a mathematical software can be exposed through the web where geometry, algebra and calculus up to the college level can be done.
