      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.

        @mkeypaige A lot of those topics have Wikipedia or Electowiki pages, which describe them quite well, and there are also YouTube videos which discuss a lot of them. Some of the later stuff I wouldn't even know what they are. But I'll give you some links.

        Ranked voting - Wikipedia

        1. Plurality system (also known as First Past the Post) - Wikipedia, CGP Grey video

        2. Ranked Choice Voting (also known as Instant Runoff Voting, Alternative Vote among others): Wikipedia, CGP Grey video

        3. Condorcet methods: Wikipedia, Carneades.org video

        4. Borda Count: Wikipedia, Carneades.org video

        5. Majority criterion: Wikipedia, Becky Moening video

        6. Unanimity criterion: Wikipedia article on Pareto Efficiency, Eric Pacuit video

        7. Condorcet winner criterion: Wikipedia, Carneades.org video

        8. Monotonicity criterion: Electowiki article, Becky Moening video

        9. IIA (Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives) criterion: Wikipedia, Carneades.org video

        10. Manipulability: Wikipedia article on strategic voting, Katherine Heller video

        11. Random dictator: Wikipedia article, Carneades.org video

        12. Approval voting: Wikipedia, CGP Grey video

        That's the first section covered. Let me know if this is useful at all and I can get some links for the others.
