@MikeIsaac Pity he never read the original vox populi quote:

“And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always close to insanity.”

I ❤️ #calculus but students should have more options in HS #math. The traditional #calculus course distorts the HS curriculum and gives students a narrow view of math is all about. Calculus need not signal your worth as a future #college student

Hey teachers! Can you help out a few of my engineering kids and share their survey with a class or two? They are designing a new backpack and so the Qs are related to that. Any help is appreciated! https://t.co/ymo5ZzUSwf

My dad passed away a month ago. He never fully understood what I was doing in grad school.

I found this notebook a few days after he passed. He always cared and he was always trying to understand.

Huh.

Our latest preprint is out! I think many of you might especially like this one. It’s written for students. And it tells a fun story, almost a detective story, about a classic textbook problem that contains unexpected riches. https://t.co/hzznX84Rc6
