🚀 Quick Start

Installation

cargo install neat-edu

Running the Application

neat-edu

This will launch the desktop GUI application where you can:

1. Select a mathematical topic (Arithmetic, Algebra, Calculus, etc.)
2. Adjust difficulty level (Easy/Medium/Hard)
3. Generate random problems and solve them interactively
4. Visualize neural networks processing your solutions in real-time
5. Track performance metrics and learning progress
