Introduction

The last month and a half at Plio have been spent on (apart from all the cool stuff that usually happens here, of course 🙂) understanding the level and behaviour of learning of the students who engage with our platform.

Mathematically, we can define a metric as follows:

A metric on a set X is a function (called the distance function or simply distance).
