Calculus Formula Puzzle
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! For those of you who are learning calculus, do you miss how games used to be part of your lessons? Here\’s a jigsaw puzzle of an important calculus formula so you can study while you put it together. (Click the picture to go to the actual puzzle.) I…
Mathematical Safety Advice
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! You might not know this, but mathematicians love puns. We slip them into this classic piece of advice about road/beverage safety: And now there\’s also one, from Nick Johnson, about pandemic countermeasures: What other mathematical safety advice have you heard? Calc You Later!
GeoGebra: Dynamic Color
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! In this video I show how to experiment with dynamic color in GeoGebra. I\’d really like to see some things folks come up with this way! Carefully take a screenshot and feel free to post it in the comments. Calc You Later!
Testing Patterns
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This video contains three conjectures, one proof, and one counterexample (and therefore one open conjecture), based on this previous post. The important idea of what we did here is if we can find a formula that\’s equivalent to how we\’re coming up with some numbers, and that formula…
Puzzles and Formulas
Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people! This is what I came up with by exploring relationships between numbers in yesterday\’s puzzle. Like I mentioned, there are still some directions available for further exploration, so I don\’t think we\’re done yet with this puzzle and ones like it. But, for now, Calc You Later!
