Whirlwind Summer

We heard exciting news from Elie, Grace, Cassie, Brad, and an adult student from several years ago, Georgia and were busy tutoring many others. Read about them on the Successes page.

We spent three days in Champaign, Illinois visiting Don "The Mathman" and his wife Marilyn Cohen. Don and I worked on the spiral below, among other projects. Our trip included a visit to Wolfram, INC, the makers of Mathematica. Ed Pegg and Jay Warendorff were our hosts.

Lori and Don's Equiangular Spiral

Joe and I spent three days in August working and visiting with Don and Marilyn in Champaign, Illinois. We worked with the kids on some cool math problems and Lori and Don made a cool applet to show why the equiangular spiral is called equiangular and started another another about infinite series. They used the open source program Geogebra. Get your free copy here. The point P on the spiral is the point of tangency for the line. Notice that the angle, in green, keeps its value no matter where you drag the point P.

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and active in your browser (Click here to install Java now)

Congratulations, Don!

Our friend and mentor Don Cohen, the author of our primary text, Calculus By and For Young People, has been awarded the Educator of the Year award. We think he deserves his own page on our site. Read more here.
