A few weeks back I was complaining about this meme and we had a good discussion about it on here. I ended up making a lesson plan about taxes and my students really liked it so I will share it.

Her parents nurtured her early interest in #math, and hired her a tutor. The local priest’s son introduced her to #nihilism. So both her bent for revolutionary politics and passion for math 🧵2

If you've done some #datascience but never really learned or truly understood #calculus, you might find this analogy of interest...

Integration is just split-apply-combine.

Suppose you want to find out the average wealth of people in some state... You could take the data you have, break it up by zip code, calculate the local average wealth estimate, multiply by the number of people in the zip code, and add it all up. Then divide by the total number of people in all the zip codes.

One of the many classes I teach is a calculus course for 12th year high school students. Since their peers are taking Calculus II and Linear Algebra and beyond they regard themselves as “the slow class” which is ridiculous. Most people don’t take calculus until college, if they ever encounter it at all. But young people compare themselves to their peers— 1/

Happy 399th Birthday: The Integration

The manuscript page on the cover shows the moment
that Leibniz introduced the integral sign ∫.

It is from one of several memoranda he wrote to himself during his remarkable stay in Paris during the years 1672–1676.

The particular one at hand is dated October 29, 1675.
