When Gauss was 10 years old and attending elementary school, his teacher asked the class to add all the numbers from 1 to 100.

A few moments later, young Gauss raised his hand and shouted out the answer, while the other students began tediously adding the numbers one by one.

How did he come up with the answer so fast?

Young Gauss realized that the sequence could be divided into pairs: the first number, 1, with the last number, 100; the second number, 2, with the second-to-last number, 99; and so on.

Each pair would sum to 101. Recognizing that there were 50 pairs in total, Gauss multiplied 50 by 101 to obtain the sum of the sequence. The result, 5050, popped into his head almost instantly.

This experiment breaks your brain 🤯

Remove air in the world’s largest vacuum chamber, drop a bowling ball and feathers, and Galileo is proven right—400 years later.

study math.

not for grades.
not for exams.
but because math rewires how you think.

it teaches you precision in chaos.
how to see structure where others see noise.
how to break a giant, messy problem into clean, solvable chunks.

every great engineer, physicist, and builder; whether they admit it or not; stands on mathematical intuition.

math sharpens your reasoning.
it builds pattern recognition.
it gives you the language of reality.

if you can think mathematically,
you can think about anything.

Brook Taylor was born in London exactly 340 years ago today 🎉 He introduced the Taylor series in 1715 as a way to approximate complicated functions using polynomials built from their derivatives at a point.

The core idea: any smooth-enough function can be expressed locally as an infinite sum of polynomial terms, making analysis and computation easier.

@NISDWarren @NISD Miss my Warren family 💜. I hope everyone has a great school year!

@SheaSerrano do you think the FOH army can help my former student’s mom out.

Teaching area formulas as how the shape is related to a rectangle helps build conceptual understanding.

Here's how to derive the area formulas of a parallelogram, triangle, trapezoid, kite, regular hexagon, and even a circle from the area formula of a rectangle:

My last graduation at Warren 💜

[Jose Gutierrez @MrGTeachesMath]

@natalie_pavon_ Thank you Natalie.

[Jose Gutierrez @MrGTeachesMath]

Year 11 in education is done! Bittersweet as I leave Warren HS. I will cherish all the memories with students and staff.

My next adventure takes me back home to the RGV to Los Fresnos CISD. I’ll miss SA but look forward to being close to friends, family, and the beach!

@_ruben_psd Thanks Ruben! Hope all is well with you!

Since the new Pope has a degree in math, I really hope he will say that eating pie is not a sin because sin(pi)=0.

You matter.

Unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light squared.

Then you Energy.

Pi-day (3.14)

Pi has a few more digits than that. But 3.14 can get you far. Wanna get your geek on? Celebrate at 1 am and 59min 26sec. That gets you 3.14 1:59:26, Pi's first seven decimal places.
