The sum of two consecutive integers is equal to the difference of their squares.

For example: 13 + 14 = 27 and 14² - 13² = 27.

During my First-year calculus revision lecture today, I realized that my hair is doing population decline modelling. 😂

@TayebwaDic57451 Ah!

Thanks

[Herbert Batte @BatteHerbert]

Congratulations to me!

In my Absentia from Uganda, I graduate with a degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics of Makerere University.

[Herbert Batte @BatteHerbert]

@Ornatelabs Yeah, because in SA, first year students are just 16-17 year of age, so this is the appropriate age to talk about this too.

However, it is introduced to them in their Highschool and we just recap it again to make sure we are on same level. Its jut week 3.

Its Week 3 in Stellenbosch Univ.

Trigonometry concluded with our first-year Biological Sciences class.

Building foundations early as we proceed through the semester📐📊

[Herbert Batte @BatteHerbert]

@aboutrikha yes, this is s.5 equivalent to Uganda, but in SA, first year students are still young, age 16-17 which is same age for uganda's s.5 kids.

so we teach according to age, not according to level

[Herbert Batte @BatteHerbert]

@Kanshuk yes, we call it Maths for Biological sciences, but its ideally introductory calculus

@collinspra97281 I do not think CMT has Afrikaans labelings and a microphone-projector-computer system

[Herbert Batte @BatteHerbert]

@REDR0KK Thanks, that box stores the small microphone, I rarely use the mic as my voice is mostly projective

From my lonely hideout, I've spent the day reading the many beautiful birthday messages. Thank you, friends, for the outpouring of love and encouragement. I’m really humbled🙏🏾❤️

I’m grateful to God for the gift of life, for the friends and family that He has surrounded me with, and for the many second chances I have had in life.

For whatever we have accomplished, that was the almighty God working through us. The glory goes to Him. For the mistakes and missteps along the way, that's mine. I take responsibility while struggling to improve.

Cheers to a new age and a new page.
May the rest of our days be the best of our days.

Grateful for another year to teach, learn, and grow. 🇿🇦📚
