I’ve just finished the first project in the scientific computing with python course. My program completely fills the brief and works fine as far as I can tell. However, when I run it through the test module, I fail at every single check. I’m assuming this is because I’ve done the project differently than they’ve expected. Is there a way to salvage this, or do I need to start from scratch?
Code so far

#Assigns the list of problems into a variable
