Learn Fractions with our Automated Private Tutor

Hi HN, we are Jurgen (CTO) and Raphael (CEO) from amy.app We have been working for several years on a tool (Amy) that emulates a private tutor. Amy is based on Raphael's experience as a tutor and university lecturer in Mathematical Modeling. Today we want to show you Amy in action by teaching you fractions. Why fractions?: Because fractions form the foundation of many more advanced topics and is often the first major barrier to student success in maths. Mastering fractions is an important indicator of long term success. Why tutoring?: Tutoring has been shown to be one of the most efficient…

Hi HN, we are Jurgen (CTO) and Raphael (CEO) from amy.app We have been working for several years on a tool (Amy) that emulates a private tutor. Amy is based on Raphael's experience as a tutor and university lecturer in Mathematical Modeling. Today we want to show you Amy in action by teaching you fractions. Why fractions?: Because fractions form the foundation of many more advanced topics and is often the first major barrier to student success in maths. Mastering fractions is an important indicator of long term success. Why tutoring?: Tutoring has been shown to be one of the most efficient ways of learning. What's different about Khan Academy, etc.?: The main difference is, Amy identifies knowledge gaps in students and then tries to fix them. This differs greatly from most other tools which simply ask you to repeat the current exercise if you fail it. A word about AI&#x2F;LLM: First, all our math is human-curated! Second, we experimented a bit with LLMs but their math constantly failed us. Also, we are looking for pedagogically relevant math, not scientific math.

    Hi HN, Last month, I have worked with my team here at Amy.app to make a stand-alone SAT Tutor. I'm pretty excited about this product, as it's our first attempt to make a stand-alone product targeted directly at students. So far all our products were targeted at teachers&#x2F;schools&#x2F;publishers. But we never found product-market fit ¯\_(ツ)_&#x2F;¯ Our SAT-Math tutor is designed to find your knowledge gaps and gets you up-to-speed as fast as possible. We believe it offers a fresh approach on how online learning usually works. Please let me know what you think. The product has a 3 days…

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
