Maybe it's the influence of Victorina Wasmuth, their peppy, diminutive math teacher, who exudes a boundless enthusiasm as she introduces a lesson on Rolle's theorem and the extreme-value theorem, which, she explains, are key underpinnings of calculus. Wasmuth tosses out problems for her students to solve and then roves the room, examining their work. "You're all very smart!" she exclaims. "You're all capable of coming up with these theorems on your...
APRIL. "I don't mind," Alex Trebek tells E! "Ken and I are good friends." Ken's margins of victory narrow. Barely holds his own against two Caltech mathematicians, but his elegant proof of Von Stumpfnagel's theorem gives him a thrilling come-from-behind victory when both profs neglect to carry the 2.

...distinguish clearly the reasons why we ought to hold our beliefs from the contingencies, causes and baser instincts that might explain why we do hold them. It seems like an obvious point, especially in the context of Frege’s philosophy of mathematics; to see why the Pythagorean Theorem is true, we don’t need to know anything about Pythagoras or his mood that fateful morning...
