Keep talking and nobody explodes
Review of piece from work neutral met Colab
Zart attended Geometry illustration and Art conference and ran across a reference to an IF about grad student trying to get work done. “
Mathematics Odyssey.” Read aloud bits. Cease and desist received from ChooseCo. List of books inside its front cover seem cool. How to avoid Choose Co. legal issues. CYOA is a trademark. This book’s style was too close to original except for latex font. We saw many CYOA-style books that were published.
