Rather sick. Blah. Thankfully 5/6 of my students are taking a test, sothat’s a lot less work than teaching them all… – KF –
Thanks. Amusing tidbit from class: a boy, when asked how explain how to calculate (24)^2 in his head, wrote “Because (20+4)(20+4) is the same as (24)^2, but easier.” I gave him full credit for the question because it was so… Reply
Man, what a little Gauss. Push him til it hurts. Were you looking for (8*3)^2 = (8^2*3^2) = (64*9) = 36 + 540 = 576? Reply
Get well soon!
