But what is it?  I have seen people mention CSM Learn.  When I look at the sites I see a bunch of mentions of “CSM” certificates and whatnot.  But what is “CSM”?  Computers Science Math? Credit Sales Monthly?  Criminals Stop Me?  Criminey Sakes Matilda?  Could’ve Said More?

Maybe it was smacking me in the face and I missed it.  (Probably true).

I like your ideas for the meanings.  

I'm not sure the acronym is obvious.  I have a vague memory that someone told me it was Core Skills Math.

here's link to download the curriculum guide for what is covered in the course. They use the words "Core Skills" a lot so I think that's why someone told me Core Skills Math.  But I can't seem to verify it.  have to scroll down about 2/3 of way to see the curriculum guide...
