Is anybody wondering when there are going to be new exercises added to khanacademy's math program?

I already completed 95% of all their math exercises(362 concepts out of 380 to be exact) and is waiting for higher levels concepts to master or lower level exercises to reinforce my knowledge.

New exercises are added every so often. For example, some basic matrix math was just added a couple weeks ago. We're currently iterating on our current, lower level ones, to try to figure out what works the best, before we move on to higher level math and other topics.

This is a little bit OT, but how was your math before you started the exercises? How long did you tske to complete them? And finally how is it now?

Thanks

Great job, KA! You guys are doing marvelous work, seriously. I can't remember the last time I saw an organization be so well-received by... well everyone. Salman is a top-notch guy.

Surprising that IOS shipped before Android given the higher market penetration of Android in developing countries coupled with Khan Academy's mission.

Simply because the overall time to develop and ship on iOS is quite less than android. KA can learn a lot from shipping and iterating faster. And I am sure the Android version is likely under development and will be out soon.

I really like this. I only have one computer, and it spend the whole weekend on the office. When I'm home I want to learn something, with my iphone. The problem is, the actual MOOC alternatives don't have mobile solutions. Now Udacity allows you to download the videos. But this is not natural and I have to put on my dropbox, open a video at once, and sometimes they have 6 second videos.

Now I can learn when I'm on the bus and on my couch. Thank's Khan Academy!

There have been KA video apps for iPhone for quite a long while now, I was expecting that the official one would have the exercise dashboard and practice problems. Hopefully this will ship in future versions. Thanks KA team.

Any chance of making the source available for learning purposes?
