Happy Pythagorean Day 12/16/20 12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2 These tables are located at the Neil-Cochran House Museum near the University of Texas campus. The next Pythagorean day will be on 7/24/25.

I have a new YouTube channel called Doctrina which is Latin for learning. I currently have about 70 of my own math supplementary videos on calculus and will be adding more for other subjects. youtube.com/channel/UCh9Y_…


I will be presenting on some of these ideas and techniques at the upcoming 2020 Maple Conference.
