Respectfully, as I recall Ken, you are a EE and you certainly had differential equations...
I remember an attempt to teach new math in 1967. Memory says they were trying to teach functions by dressing it up with other terms. I was dropped pretty quickly. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, December 23, 2024 2:46 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Loop Powering Spreadsheet.xlsx I won’t understand your math stuff because, due to starting high school in 1963, I was subjected to the “new math”. Which was deemed a failed experiment. Because it taught abstract concepts like set theory and bases other than 10 rather than useful things like memorizing multiplication tables. Little did they know that in the future people would have calculators and smartphones. So they could solve difficult math problems like what’s 2 items at 50 cents each. The strange thing is I don’t remember new math being controversial at the time. Maybe I was prejudiced because my 9th grade math teacher was a looker. Think Opie’s teacher on the Andy Griffith Show. Anyway, don’t expect me to understand your quadratic equations since I’m from the “Johnny can’t add” generation. Supposedly. And hey, my name’s not Johnny!
