<![CDATA[Mathematics/Theory of voting]]>Hi,
I'm not sure this is allowed but I'm desperate so I thought I would come to the experts 🙂 My son is taking this WILD "math" class in college that is basically about voting theory. He needs a tutor. It's not a hard class but it isn't clicking, no tutor on ANY site can help, they say amongst other things this is "obscure, non-relavant etc..." I'm sure that's not true. As I said, I'm reaching out in desperation 🙂 If this isn't allowed forgive me.
Below is what he needs to master below. Thanks in advance. My email is mkeypaige@gmail.com.

Some of the later stuff I wouldn't even know what they are. But I'll give you some links.
