@CmonMattTHINK What's your handle over in the other place?

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@benjamindickman @CmonMattTHINK Quick and easy. Nice!

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@CmonMattTHINK *sigh* I guess I've proven it for all continuous and infinitely differentiable functions.

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@wheezywaiter To what end? To better embody their principles or to better win elections? Or just a general betterment for humanity?

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@CmonMattTHINK You always get an even function.

The Taylor series for g(x) is the sum of the Taylor series for f(x) and f(-x). For the odd terms, f(x)=-f(x) so these terms sum to 0. For the even terms, f(x)=f(-x).

The result is a sum of only even powers. Thus the function g(x) must be even!

@CmonMattTHINK This made my day. Thanks!

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@MLB @Padres Heck yes! No matter how next season goes, I've liked Shildt's style of baseball and can't wait for opening day!

@Mathowitz Preach.

@Mathowitz My head cannon is that of the number is big or an integer, it's degrees. If it's small then it's radians.

But if I'm looking for consistent notation then there should always be a degree symbol on any number of degrees.

@j_bertolotti @Kaju_Nut The only class I "enforce" attendence (where attendence carries grade weight) is an intro level course where we spend the entirety of every class doing group lab activities.

Also in that class, I remake groups periodically. I group people based on attendence.

@hankgreen The older I get, the more I think that many problems arise when people start caring about situations that did not involve them and happen outside their local sphere of influence.

@offgridteacher @clhubes I just can't get over how many dollars worth of stuff I just saw. So many dollars.

@WelshFriar The memories of '98 loom large. But I'm doing my best.

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@Mathowitz Ugh. I think you dodged a bullet saying no to the class.

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@Mathowitz During summer semester, we do four hours of physics, five days a week for four weeks. I love it. It's exhausting but it's basically physics summer camp.

That said, I don't use a standard lecture curriculum. That sounds like hell.

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@CmonMattTHINK @hpicciotto Interesting idea. Is this much different than assigning chapter homework rather than daily homework? Students get more time to sit with the material before they need to be assessed on it.

@patrickklepek This is a tragedy. This game was a gem.

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@NationPadres Don't even joke. My heart leapt only to fall back into the sad present that Snellzilla is not currently a Padre.

[Scott Carr @twoTheta]

@Quasilocal We have the option to include or enforce a similar policy. But we also have policy tools to allow students who suffer significant hardship to continue working past the end of the semester to make up the work so they don't have to repeat the class.

They are all just tools.
