= Ciro Santilli's Homepage {title2=三西猴的主页} Check out: \b[https://ourbigbook.com], a <personal knowledge base> that can publish from <lightweight markup> both to a multi-user \b[<mind-melding>] dynamic website, or as a <static website>. It's like \b[<Wikipedia> + <GitHub> + <Stack Overflow> + <Obsidian (software)>]. Source code: \b[https://github.com/ourbigbook/ourbigbook]. <sponsor>[Sponsor me to work on this project]: 100k <USD> = I quit me job and work on it one year full time. Status: \b[~144k / 200k USD] reached: 1st year locked-in, 2nd year stretch goal open at 200k USD. How to donate: <sponsor>{full}. I reached \b[100k USD] after a <sponsor/1000 Monero donation>, so I quit my job for 1 year starting 1st June 2024 to solve as many <STEM> courses as I can from a world leading university to try and kickstart \b[The Higher Education Revolution]. If I reach \b[200k USD], then I'll do it for two years instead. A second year greatly improve chances of success: year one I solve a bunch of courses, year two I come guns blazing with the content and expand further. \b[Mission]: to live in a world where you can learn <university>-level <mathematics>, <physics>, <chemistry>, <biology> and <engineering> from perfect free <open source> books that anyone can write to get famous. More rationale: <OurBigBook.com>{full} <Ciro Santilli's documentation superpowers>[Explaining things is my superpower], e.g. I was top user \#39 on <Stack Overflow> in 2023https://stackexchange.com/leagues/1/year/stackoverflow/2023-01-01{ref}<Ciro Santilli's Stack Overflow contributions>{ref} and I have a few 1k+ star educational <GitHub> repositorieshttps://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat{ref}<linux kernel module cheat>{ref}https://github.com/cirosantilli/x86-bare-metal-examples{ref}https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=user%3Acirosantilli&s=stars&type=Repositories{ref}. Now I want to bring that level of awesomeness to <Master's degree>[masters level] <Mathematics> and <Physics>. But I can't do it alone! So I created <OurBigBook.com> to allow everyone to work together towards the perfect book of everything. My life's goal is to bring hardcore <university>-level <STEM> <open educational content> to all ages. Sponsor me at https://github.com/sponsors/cirosantilli[] starting from 1<Dollar>[[$]]/month so I can work full time on it. Further information: <sponsor>{full}.

Let's <the ideal university>[create an educational system] with: * no distinction between <university> and <high school>, <students must have a flexible choice of what to learn>[students just go as fast as they can to what they really want] without stupid <university entry exams> * <OurBigBook.com>[fully open source learning material] * <exam as a service>[on-demand examinations that anyone can easily take without prerequisites] * <the only reason for universities to exist should be the laboratories>[granular entry selection only for space in specific laboratories] or participation in specific <novel research> projects \b[I offer]: * online private tutoring for: * any <STEM> university course * passionate younger <STEM> students (any age) who want to learn university level material and beyond.

I'll work with the teacher to turn the problem around! * are you looking to create a consistent <open educational resources> offering to increase your institutions internationally visibility? I can help with that too. My approach is to: * propose interesting research projects. The starting point is always deciding the end goal: <backward design>{full} * learn what is needed to do the project together with the student(s) * publish any novel results or tutorials/tools produced <freely licensed> online, and encourage the student to do the same (<how to teach/Let students learn by teaching>{full}, <digital garden>) For minors, parents are welcome to join video calls, and all interactions with the student will be recorded and made available to parents.
