Merry Christmas!

Fun Christmas-related math fact: Isaac Newton, the famous mathematician, was born on December 25th, at least according to the Julian calendar that was in use at the time. (We currently use the Gregorian calendar.)

Newton is well-known for lots of discoveries, but my personal favorite is that of what we now call calculus. It is an incredibly powerful tool that lets us use infinitely big and infinitely small quantities to give finite, real-world results that actually work. Its discovery was integral (pun intended) to Newton's later work on his famous Laws of Motion and eventually all of physics.

(Sidenote: Leibniz also independently discovered calculus about 10 years after Newton. Both are credited for its discovery.)

When you are taking standardized tests, you NEED to be reading the full question!

I can't count the number of times I've gotten a question wrong because of something I skipped over in the question itself. It might not seem like a big deal, but it's crucial to achieving high scores. Once you start reading the question--and reading the question well--you'll see an improvement.

If there are any topics you would like me to cover or questions you would like me to answer in a future reel, comment your ideas below!
I plan to make two reels a week, so I'll get to your idea as soon as I can.
It can be anything math- or SAT prep-related, but you can also ask me other questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
