I was thinking that it's something that could be easily explained in a few minutes to a bright and curious youngster during office hours, but maybe those opportunities don't exist for your situation? | |

So I stand by my statement as I wrote it :-) Second, I definitely can't do arithmetic with my students : I'm teaching in a scientific CPGE, so the quotient (syllabus content)/(time to cover it) is already very high [see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… -- where they mention the years as "intensive" which is quite an understatement]. | |
