New Interactive Problems in March 2024

Andie here, I lead one of the content teams at Mathspace, and my team is responsible for creating and updating our interactive problems.

Starting today, I'm excited to start sharing regular updates with you on the changes we're making. The list of topics below includes all those that have had new interactive problems added in just the last month, split into updates to our US textbooks and our Australian textbooks.
