Javier, I looked at videos 7 & 6 without sound. They seem to be paced
fairly slowly and to have one or two clearly defined points. I think
the visuals are well done.
I'd be interested to know what level of student they are aimed at. Also, is
this part of a mathematics + software course where you use maxima
instead of commercial alternatives?
