They sent one of the rare spams Ciro actually was interested in!!! Likely going down lists of top Stack Overflow users.
They have some kind of cryptocurrency, TCHME token, as a reward. Ciro wonders if the value of TCHME will ever be high enough to serve as a valid incentive.
Also, what is the total TCHME supply? Can the website devs issue as much as they want? They do giveaways e.g. as shown at: twitter.com/TeachMeAsap/status/1621353671840899072
And a centralized system with a certralized marketplace would work just as well for the initial phases. But fair play, the idea is interesting.

A Python wrapper over a bunch of numeric and computer algebra system packages to try and fully replace MATLAB et. al.
For example, their
Quickstart tutorial at: www.sagemath.org/tour-quickstart.html From this we see that they are very opinionated, you don't need to import anything, everything has a pre-defined global name, which is convenient, e.g.:
is the 3D vector space over the rationals. This also suggests that they are quite focused on computer algebra as opposed to numerical.
