Erratum:
It’s really hard to write good introductory mathematics.
(writing normal or poor introductory mathematics is only mildly strenuous; tons of writers do it regularly)
It’s also not necessarily a good idea. There are tons of introductory materials like the OLI Statistics course I just finished. Why succumb to NIH?
In the open thread comment I’m preparing, I wrote this:
Many subjects already have excellent material elsewhere on the Web, though, so posts would need to take advantage of LW common knowledge or special interests to add new value.
