As someone who hated math in k-12 and excelled in reading, this is interesting to me. I have gotten more into math as a soon to be college graduate, (Econ/Acct) where I have learned I am not bad at math, and the math I have done for my degree, econometrics, calculus, were all interesting (though not on a high level). I think if I had been taught math as a child better than what I was, I would have moved more toward a CS/CE/data engineering degree instead of business. The math scared me off.

For my kids I look forward to trying to supplement their K-12 education (math especially) with other forms of education that I hope foster an interest in math. K-12 never really gave me a chance to find math interesting.

Does anyone have any great tools/resources to help supplement public math education?

My guess would just be to research experts in the field of the startup. This person wouldn't be an investor but they may have some interest in the startup succeeding. Someone with domain expertise on the board makes a lot of sense.

I have had the opposite experience. All other students I know use Office constantly and it is truly a requirement. Google apps don't cut it sometimes. I actually own an HP Chromebook 14, but I also have a desktop that runs office that does that job for me.

From what I saw you can use a wireless keyboard/mouse so the issue of reaching won't be as prevalent. Though you might mean you would actually use touch all the time, but I couldn't see myself doing that.

Read: Ayn Rand - We The Living Currently Reading: Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged

Honestly loving Atlas Shrugged, but We The Living is easily my favorite book I have ever read. It has deeply affected how I think about life and I share many philosophical beliefs with Rand, would highly highly recommend.

I've read before that many YC companies were rejected multiple times before being accepted on their 3rd, 4th, 5th tries. Dropbox is one of those.

As someone who works in development for a university, I am sure they don't. University endowments are all about good returns so no way.
