I can hear it now: “Nerd!” I guess it is nerdy to write an article on lambda calculus. But hear me out. I learned about lambda calculus this past semester. It was covered in a course called Principles of Programming Languages. Learning this formal system was supposed to help us stu...

If you’ve been following along for the last few weeks, you know that I’ve been playing with different methods of representing event calculus, and aiming at being able to explain the outcomes. This week I’d like to show you an experiment I did with a tool called Carneades. Carnea...

p.s. — the video will be linked at the bottom of the article. cheers. u know how there’s formal and informal ways to dress, behave, & say certain words? apparently, in math, it’s just the same. the derivative is the informal way/definition (“wut up gang?” -...

I am reading a really cool book that teaches you an intuitive approach to calculus, and one of the exercises in it asks you to describe a concept in a “grandma-friendly way”, so here’s how I’d put it! I am going to try and use different analogies, rather than the on...

With so many options to choose from, it can be hard to figure out which book is most suitable for you to learn calculus from. You’ve come to the right place! We’ll find the book that is most suitable for you. These aren’t given any any particular order, each of them have their c...

Hi my name is Bella and I was once too, like many students, studying calculus in high school. I am now starting the publication High School Calculus to build up a comprehensive library of calculus content for high school students and beyond. The publication will have 7 subpages, ea...

Imagine you’re scrolling through endless Netflix suggestions, and suddenly, “The Shawshank Redemption” pops up — your all-time favorite. How did they know? The answer lies in a powerful language: calculus. While it might seem daunting at first, calculus equips data scientists...

Sorry for the break in content, everyone. It’s been a stressful few weeks for me. In our previous article, we did some more practice with limits with factorization, the first tool we can use to algebraically find limits. Let’s add to these tools, and learn another way to compu...

On the slope, you are standing on the side of the mountain” *Puts arms out to the side, jerks whole body sideways* “See?” 2. “In order to find the steepness of the slope you need……?” *Mouths the words he wants us to answer. He is wearing a m...

Experimental analysis often involves analyzing groups containing varying numbers of elements; for example, a different number of units for each treatment assignment within each stratum. We therefore encounter objects that are like matrices, except they are not perfect rectangular blocks; i.e., ...
